Abstract

Uterine fibroids or myomas are the most frequent benign neoplasm during fertile life in women. It originates from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus (myometrium) [1], and it is frequently found at a gynecological examination or at ultrasound in almost 30 % of the women above 35 years of age. Myomas are usually asymptomatic, but in 30 % of the women, they can induce a variety of symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, pelvic discomfort, infertility, recurrent abortion, and when there several myomas and/or when they are quite large and heavy, they can induce diseases for the compression of the tissues and/or organs close to the uterus, such as the bladder [2].
