Abstract |
Uterine fibroids are common benign pelvic tumors in reproductive-age women, often presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. Therefore, it is of interest to analyze 60 patients undergoing myomectomy (66.7%) or hysterectomy (33.3%) between 2022 and 2024. Intramural fibroids (60.0%) with a mean size of 8.2 cm were the most frequent finding. Symptom resolution at 6 months was higher after hysterectomy (95.0%) compared to myomectomy (82.5%, p=0.048), while complication rates were similar. Surgical management provides effective relief, with hysterectomy offering a definitive cure and myomectomy serving as a fertility-preserving option. |
