Leiomyomas (myomas) are benign estrogen dependent tumors which arise from the myometrium. They are the most common benign uterine tumors among women of reproductive age group. Even though only 50% of women with myomas are symptomatic, they are one of the most common causes of morbidity among women due to the variety of symptoms which they can cause and they form the most common reason for surgical intervention in women. Severity of symptoms depends upon the site, size and number of myomas as well as the presence of degenerative changes.
