Background: The present retrospective study planned for evaluating 50 uterine fibroid cases. Materials &Methods: Complete demographic and clinical details of 50 subjects were obtained from record files. A Performa was made and detailed ultrasonography (USG) findings were recorded separately. Categorization of the USG findings was done into following variables: fibroid homogeneity/heterogeneity, fibroid echo pattern and fibroid outline. Categorization of the uterine fibroid cases was done across different age groups. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet followed by statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: Increase in incidence of uterine fibroids was seen with increasing age. Majority of the fibroids were multiple nodules.Menorrhagia, Lower abdominal pain and Pregnancy check were the clinical presentation/indications in 70 percent, 56 percent and 24 percent of the patients respectively. Majority of the fibroids on USG showed Heterogeneity with Hypoechoic pattern being the most common pattern. Conclusion: A falling trend of new uterine fibroid diagnoses among predominantly symptomatic womenare seen which might be because of secular trends of decreasing hysterectomies. |
