Background Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are benign smooth muscle tumors that may cause significant morbidity in women of reproductive age. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of menstrual and reproductive...
Conclusion: Our results suggest that age at menarche, menstrual cycle length, parity, and age at first birth are inversely associated with the risk of UL in premenopausal Korean women. Future studies are warranted to confirm the long-term effects of menstrual and reproductive factors on women’s health.

Validation of self-report of uterine fibroid diagnosis using a transvaginal ultrasound scan - Scientific Reports
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-36313-y
Self-report of uterine fibroids (UF) has been used for epidemiologic research in different environments. Given the dearth of studies on the epidemiology of UF in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), it is...
Conclusion: Our study shows that self-report of UF is unreliable as a tool for epidemiological research on UF, and hospital-based studies significantly underestimate the prevalence of uterine fibroids in the population. Future studies of UF should use TVUS and similar tools and population-based study designs.
Validation of uterine artery embolization before surgical laparoscopic myomenucleation compared to single surgical laparoscopic myomenucleation for the treatment of large fibroids and uterus myomatosus

AimTo determine the efficacy of preoperative uterine artery embolization (uterine artery embolization; UAE) prior to elective laparoscopic fibroid removal compared to single laparoscopic fibroid removal in women with large uterine...
Conclusion: Especially women with large uterine fibroids and women with uterus myomatosus after having children can benefit from the combination therapy of preoperative percutaneous uterine embolization with subsequent laparoscopic myoma enucleation.
