They are smooth muscle tumours originating from the myometrium [2]. The majority of uterine fibroids are asymptomatic but 30–40% are symptomatic, depending on the location and size, and can present with abnormal uterine bleeding, pressure symptoms, pelvic pain and infertility [3]. Additional symptoms include urinary problems and constipation. Uterine fibroids can also lead to reproductive problems like infertility, miscarriage, pre-term labour, fetal malpresentation, increased risk of caesarean section, low birth weight and postpartum haemorrhage [4]. - Type - Chapter - Information - Modern Management of Uterine Fibroids , pp. 33 - 36Publisher: Cambridge University PressPrint publication year: 2020 Baird, D, Dunson, DB, Hill, MC, Cousins, D, Schectman, JM.
