Abstract

Leiomyoma of the uterus are benign, monoclonal uterine myometrial tumors that affect 25–45% of reproductive age women. Since the advent of better diagnostic modalities like ultrasonography, more and more fibroids are being detected incidentally even in asymptomatic women. Though we do not know much about fibroids with research on standstill for a century now, yet we conclude which fibroids do not cause or cause infertility or impair assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcome. Unknown risk factors of fibroids, causes of infertility in cases of fibroid uterus, outcome of hysteroscopic surgery, accepted indications for myomectomy, impact of fibroids based on location, treatment strategies, and morcellation controversy are covered in this chapter.
