Uterine leiomyoma, also referred to as fibroid or myoma, is a prevalent benign tumor that can present with a range of clinical manifestations. The symptoms, which vary based on the tumor's location, size, and number, include pain, constipation, urinary disturbances, and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Certain types of uterine leiomyomas, such as pedunculated subserosal myomas or large degenerating cystic myomas, may closely mimic ovarian tumors, leading to significant diagnostic and management challenges.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Uterine leiomyomata are widely believed to contribute to lower urinary tract symptoms in women, but it is unclear whether leiomyoma size, position, and location have important implications for these symptoms. We assessed whether greater leiomyoma volume, anterior position, and subserosal location were associated with urinary incontinence and frequent urination in a racially diverse, nationwide sample of premenopausal women in the USA.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 477 premenopausal women from 12 USA sites undergoing evaluation for laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation or myomectomy for leiomyomata was carried out.
