Abstract
Uterine fibroids/Leiomyoma are uterine smooth muscle tumours that are benign. In the reproductive age group, the incidence ranges from 20% to 50%. Pregnancy rates range from 0.1% to 10%. Women of reproductive age with fibroids have been linked to menstruation abnormalities, pelvic pain, infertility, and obstetric complications/bad obstetric outcome.1 Miscarriage, premature labor, APH, red degeneration, malpresentation, malposition, FGR, LBW, PPH, and an increased incidence of births and caesarean hysterectomy are all obstetric issues related with fibroids in pregnancy.
