Summary

Uterine fibroids or leiomyomas are the most common benign gynaecological tumours; up to 25–30% of women may be diagnosed with fibroids during their lifetime [1]. Women with uterine fibroids may be asymptomatic, or they may present with menstrual symptoms such as menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea, pressure symptoms, infertility, recurrent miscarriage or complications during pregnancy like red degeneration.
