Abstract

Uterine fibroid is a non-cancerous growth in the female uterus of a reproductive woman, ranging from age 40s andabove. Even though according to research, females of age 20s and 30s also have few chances of this growth in theiruterus, as long as they have reach a child bearing age (reproductive age); in this stage it is encouraged that such individualis treated with immediate effect to avoid the continuous multiplication of this growth. “Uterine fibroid embolism” can bea good choice for treatment, which is a minimally invasive technique. In other cases, where the fibroid case hasmultiplied so much,” myomectomy”, “hysterectomy” or “laparoscopy” can be considered to remove the fibroid growthand/or remove the uterus entirely if the woman is no more interested to bear child or in the case that removal of theuterus, could terminate the fibroid permanently.
