Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumours in reproductive system. They proliferations of smooth muscle cells myometrium containing a large quantity extracellular matrix and they surrounded by pseudo capsule compressed areolar tissue cells. can cause various symptoms such as menorrhage, pain infertility therefore be traumatic experience for several women. The treatment choice is myomec...

PURPOSE Currently there is no effective medicinal treatment for uterine fibroids (UFs), a common health disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Identification of modifiable risk factors such as vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency could help develop novel strategies for the prevention and/or treatment of UFs. The purpose of this study was to identify whether low serum Vit D3 levels correlate w...

We report a non-puerperal uterine inversion with nulliparous women caused by huge pedunculated submucosal fibroid. Massive bleeding from protruding mass through vagina brought the heart to stop in 42-year-old nulliparous woman. She became cardiopulmonary resuscitation survivor in emergency room and then underwent laparotomy which ended in successful myomectomy rather than hysterectomy consideri...

Background/introduction The focused ultrasound power required for successful ablation of uterine fibroid tissue varies substantially between patients and within single treatments.[1,2] Fibroids with high signal intensity in pretreatment T2-weighted MR images have been shown to require increased power to achieve adequate temperature elevation for ablation;[2,4] thus, T2-weighted signal intensity...

Uterine fibroids are a common problem in women. Statistics showing 20-50% of fibroids produce symptoms and consequently patients seek surgical intervention to improve their quality of life. Treatments for fibroids are typically successful in controlling the fibroid disease, yet sexual function following invasive surgical treatments for fibroids can be jeopardized. The Sexual Function Index (FSF...

BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a highly precise medical procedure used locally to heat and destroy diseased tissue through ablation. This study intended to review HIFU in uterine fibroid therapy, to evaluate the role of HIFU in the therapy of leiomyomas as well as to review the actual clinical activities in this field including efficacy and safety measures beside the pub...

size of a seven months' pregnancy (Fig. 1). It consists of one large cavity, containing more than two pints of blood-stained serous fluid. The walls of this large blood-cyst show the structure of a uterine fibroid; the cavity is lined in parts with soft, yellowish-white breaking-down tissue showing the changes of perithelioma (Fig. 2). The uterine cavity extends round one-third of the tumour, h...
