# Presentation patterns and management outcomes of uterine fibroids: A retrospective study

## TL;DR

This study examines the presentation patterns and surgical outcomes of uterine fibroids in 60 patients treated with myomectomy or hysterectomy.

## Contribution

The study provides comparative outcomes of myomectomy and hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, focusing on symptom resolution and complication rates.

## Key findings

- Intramural fibroids with a mean size of 8.2 cm were the most common type.
- Hysterectomy resulted in higher symptom resolution (95.0%) compared to myomectomy (82.5%).

## Abstract

Uterine fibroids are common benign pelvic tumors in reproductive-age women, often presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic
pain. Therefore, it is of interest to analyze 60 patients undergoing myomectomy (66.7%) or hysterectomy (33.3%) between 2022 and 2024.
Intramural fibroids (60.0%) with a mean size of 8.2 cm were the most frequent finding. Symptom resolution at 6 months was higher after
hysterectomy (95.0%) compared to myomectomy (82.5%, p=0.048), while complication rates were similar. Surgical management provides
effective relief, with hysterectomy offering a definitive cure and myomectomy serving as a fertility-preserving option.
