Multiple Fibroid Uterus

Japhia Shalin W.

Abstract: Multiple fibroids in the uterus, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are common benign tumours that affect a significant portion of women, particularly those of reproductive age. These tumours can vary in size, number, and location within the uterus and may cause a wide range of symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, and reproductive challenges such as infertility or pregnancy complications. The exact aetiology of uterine fibroids remains unclear, but genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors are thought to contribute to their development. Diagnosis is typically achieved through pelvic examination, ultrasound, and MRI, while treatment options vary depending on symptom severity, size, and location of the fibroids. Management approaches include medical therapy (e.g., GnRH agonists, progestins), minimally invasive procedures (e.g., uterine artery embolisation, myomectomy), and in severe cases, hysterectomy. Multiple fibroids complicate treatment decisions and require a personalised approach to ensure optimal outcomes. Continued research into the pathophysiology and treatment modalities of multiple fibroid uteri remains crucial for improving patient care.
