ABSTRACT
Among women of reproductive age, uterine fibroids—also referred to as leiomyomas or myomas—are often occurring benign tumors. The precise cause of fibroids is still unknown despite their widespread occurrence, however growth factors, hormone abnormalities, and heredity all play important parts. This review thoroughly investigates the etiology and pathophysiology of uterine fibroids, looking at the underlying molecular pathways and genetic predispositions. To give a thorough picture of contemporary methods, diagnostic tools, such as imaging techniques and histological examination, are addressed. Furthermore, the study emphasizes different approaches to management, from medication therapies to surgical procedures, emphasizing new developments and potential paths for the profession. This review attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of uterine fibroids and assist doctors in improving patient treatment by combining existing information with new research.
