Journal Title: Ginekologia i Położnictwo medical project - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 37
Abstract
Uterine fibroids are benign, hormone-dependent tumors deriving from the smooth muscle tissue. They occur in 20-50% women at the age of 35 and 70% at the age of 50. The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids include: heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding, pain and the tightness in the pelvis. Methods of treatment of uterine fibroids can be divided into: pharmacological, surgical and minimally invasive, such as - uterine artery embolization, laparoscopic uterine artery coagulation. Up to date, surgical procedures (hysterectomy or myomectomy) have been the dominant managements but recently uterine artery embolization have also been taken into consideration. In connection with the late maternity there are growing need for effective pharmacological treatment of uterine fibroids (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone, Ulipristal acetate), which can replace traditional surgical methods.
