Uterine Fibroids-A Comprehensive Review On Symptoms, Diagnosis And Treatment

Abstract

Uterine fibroids, alternatively referred to as leiomyomas or myomas, constitute the most commonly observed benign gynecological disorder in individuals who exhibit symptoms such as atypical uterine hemorrhage, pelvic masses that generate sensations of pressure or discomfort, challenges related to infertility, and complications during pregnancy. It is observed that a specific subset of patients may display enduring pelvic pain and dyspareunia.The current strategies for managing symptomatic uterine fibroids include expectant observation, pharmacotherapy, surgical procedures, and interventions associated with interventional radiology. The intent of this careful and explanatory review is therefore to bring available information together on symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of uterine fibroids, in particular, what has lately been achieved in the field of medicine and clinical practice, consequences for women's health, and effectiveness of the modalities of treatment including drugs, surgical interventions, and new minimally invasive procedures.In the end, their combination will provide a global picture on understanding and resolving the problems related to uterine fibroids so that better care of patients can be provided by taking a holistic approach.
