The uterine fibroid affects millions of women globally each year and we can consider thispathology, without exaggerating, an important public health problem. Our study was carried outprospectively, in 5 years (2015-2019) and enrolled 480 patients selected with uterine fibroid, from anumber of 28809 women who were hospitalized during this period in the university clinic ofObstetrics and Gynecology within the „Saint Pantelimon” Emergency Hospital, Bucharest, Romania.Patients were divided into two groups of study: Group A, those with well-defined, single or multipleuterine fibroid and Group B – patients with diffuse uterine fibromatosis. The clinical,histopathological and immunohistochemical study analyzed and monitored over time, by comparisonbetween the two groups, 52 parameters for each patient, starting with the usual epidemiologicalfactors (age, weight, height, body mass index, personal or family medical history, etc.), continuingwith those related to fertility and other clinical issues (chronic pain, metrorrhagia, number of births,recurrent miscarriage, etc.), up to intraoperative parameters (duration of surgery, blood loss, pelvicdrainage, the need for blood transfusion) and finally, histopathological aspects. We present in thisarticle some of the results of our study, those related to the quality of the endometrium in thefibromatous uterus and the influence that uterine fibroid had on the fertility of our patients.
