Abstract

Fibroids (leiomyomata) are the most common gynecologic tumor, with a prevalence of 20%–80% in reproductive-aged women and 5%–10% in women with infertility [1]. Although 26%–30% of patients are asymptomatic [2,3], it has been estimated that in approximately 1%–2.4% of women, fibroids are the primary infertility diagnosis (uterine factor infertility) [4,5].
