Article Synopsis
- - Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecological tumors, affecting 20-50% of women over 30, often leading to menorrhagia (heavy bleeding) and requiring treatment options like open abdominal myomectomy, which carries risks of significant blood loss and transfusions.
- - A study at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital assessed the effectiveness of intravenous tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during open abdominal myomectomy, involving 36 patients randomly assigned to receive either tranexamic acid or a placebo alongside a peri-cervical tourniquet.
- - Results indicated that women receiving tranexamic acid experienced less blood loss (mean of 947.65 ml) compared to the placebo group
