Abstract
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors which may alter the implantation process. The present study aims to examine the impact of medium-sized (3-5 cm) intramural fibroids without contact with the endometrial cavity on implantation rates in patients following in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols. Materials and method. Thirty-one patients with intramural fibroids and 65 patients with normal uterine cavity undergoing IVF were recruited for the study groups and retrospectively evaluated. Results. Statistically significant differences were observed only regarding endometrial thickness between the two groups, and not regarding pregnancy rates. Conclusions. Intramural fibroids do not seem to decrease pregnancy rates in patients undergoing IVF with the long protocol.
