Uterine fibroids are the most common benign uterine tumours, with an estimated incidence of 20%–40% in
women during their reproductive years and are associated with a morbidity of 40%. These patients usually
present with menorrhagia, pain and pressure symptoms caused by distortion of the myometrial cavity.
This prospective cross-sectional study on symptomatic women diagnosed with uterine fibroids and admitted
into the hospital aims to find the clinical presentation, associated sociodemographic factors and management
of uterine fibroids by interviewing them through a pre-designed questionnaire.
