| Popis: | Fibroids are uterine smooth muscle tumours which are commonly found. They can vary in their number, location and size. Depending on the location and the size fibroids can be symptomatic. Symptoms can be menstrual dysfunction, pressure or subfertility. The treatment strategies will depend on the patient's characteristics, of which the most important is the wish to preserve the uterus. In this review all treatment modalities will be discussed with their risks. Clinicians need to be aware of the very rare risk of these benign tumours developing into malignancy. |
