  1. Uterine fibroid

  2. Definition of fibroid • It is benign uterine tumour consist of smooth muscles ,it can present anywhere in the uterine wall.it could be intrmural,subserosal, • Submucosal,cervical or pedunculated fibroid. • Incidence about 20_30% of reproductive age women.

  3. Presentation of fibroid • Asymptomatic. • Menorrhagia. • Dysmenorrhea and backache. • Urinary frequency. • Infertility. • Iiregular uterine mass. • Pregnancy complication:abortion,AP.,malpresentation,obstructedlabour and PPH.

  4. diagnosis • History and clinical examination. • Ultrasound. • MRI. • HSG ,Hycosy for pedunculated fibroid.

  5. management • 1_Just follow up if asymptomatic. • 2_Medical treatment: • *NSAID. • *progesterone. • *combined contraceptive pills. • *danazole. • *GNRH analouge.

  6. 3_surgical treatment: *myomectomy:involveincleation of fibroid through the uterine wall. Advantage:conservation of fertility and avoidance of hysterectomy. disadvantage:risk of bleeding ,reccurance of fibroid,adhesion formation.

  7. To decrease the risk of bleeding during myomectomy the patient can be given GnRH three months before myomectomy this also can improve the Hb level before operation and decrease the size of fibroid, but this has many disadvantages: • *leads to loss the line of cleavage between the fibroid and the uterine wall which make the operation more difficult.

  8. *osteoporosis :so any woman use it should take calcium supplementation. • *menopausal side effects like hot flushes and sweating due to the hypoesrogenic state created by this drug. • *expensive.

  9. *hysterectomy: • Advantage:no risk of recurrence and solving the problem completly. • Disadvantage:loss of fertility ,it is major operation associated with many complication • Such as bleeding,bloodtransfusion,internal organ injury ,thromboembolism ,wound infection and anaesthetic complication.

  10. Uterine artery embolization • Involve injection of radio opaque substance through the femoral artery under ultrasound guidance that cause obstruction of blood supply to the artery and shrinkage of the uterine fibroid.

  11. complication • Allergic reaction. • Failure of procedure. • Wrong embolization involving the ovary or intestines. • Premature ovarian failure. • Vaginal discharge. • Re enlargement of fibroid. • Death.
