Treatment options of uterine myomas consist of surgical, medical and interventional therapy such as uterine artery embolization or myolysis.

BACKGROUND While myoma is the most common pelvic mass of women, most women do not seek screening tests for uterine myoma and if they have any fibroid they are not volunteer for its surgical removal.

background: abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presentation of uterine abnormalities among premenopausal and postmenopausal women. objective: to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of saline contrast sonohysterography and hysteroscopy for detecting the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. materials and methods: a total of 65 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were enrolled in this ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if neurofilament (NF) is expressed in the endometrium and the lesions of myomas and adenomyosis, and to determine their correlation. METHODS Histologic sections were prepared from hysterectomies performed on women with adenomyosis (n=21), uterine myoma (n=31), and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix. Full-thickness uterine paraffin blocks, which included the endomet...

OBJECTIVE A prominent stress reaction in the pelvis of women with endometriosis and the role of human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in inflammation and the growth of endometriosis has been recently demonstrated. We report here expression of HSP70 in tissues derived from GnRH agonist (GnRHa)-untreated and -treated women with adenomyosis and uterine myoma. STUDY DESIGN This is a case-controlled...
