Uterine fibroids, also known as myomas, are common benign uterine tumors in women of reproductive age. They can cause discomfort, pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, frequent urination, infertility, and low quality of life.
Approximately 70–80% of women will acquire uterine fibroids at some point in their lives.1 Some will develop clinical symptoms influenced by the location, size, and number of fibroids.
