A systematic review of the psychosocial impact of fibroids before and after treatment.

Objective: Despite the high prevalence of uterine fibroids, the psychosocial impact of fibroids has not been evaluated across different quality of life indicators and compared with other chronic conditions. Here, we rigorously analyzed available evidence pertaining to the psychosocial burden of uterine fibroids in premenopausal women and compared validated quality of life and symptom scores before and after treatment.

Data Sources: We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, ClinicalTrials.
