Epidemiology of uterine myomas and clinical practice in Spain: an observational study

Conclusions The most frequent symptoms reported by women diagnosed with uterine myomas were heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic or abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea; QoL was impaired reflecting high symptom distress. Surgery was the main therapeutic approach. We found that surgery was the main therapeutic approach to manage uterine myomas in Spain. Both surgical and non-surgical treatments achieve relevant improvements in symptom severity and quality of life.
