Leiomyoma characteristics and their effect on lower urinary tract symptoms after surgical treatment of leiomyomas

Leiomyomas are associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Several studies identify baseline leiomyoma characteristics associated with the prevalence of LUTS, including size and location. While some data demonstrate improvement in urinary symptoms following leiomyoma debulking, few studies define baseline leiomyoma characteristics associated with symptomatic improvement following surgical management.
