Abstract

Myomas are the most common benign uterine tumors in women of childbearing age, with an incidence of up to 77% and a major impact on women's health. The aim of our study was to provide information concerning the incidence and prevalence of myomas in the patients admitted to a tertiary referral center in Northeastern Romania. This retrospective study conducted at the Iasi ‘Cuza Voda’ University Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Romania) included 11,538 patients, representing all patients admitted to the gynecology department between January 2013 and December 2019. During the study interval, the number of hysterectomies (total and for myomas) had increased. The rate of laparoscopic surgery showed a small decrease (31.3% from 34%), classic therapy showed a decrease by more than 10% and the hysteroscopy rate was tripled. There are few studies in the literature that have established with accuracy the incidence of myomas. In the present study, the prevalence of hysterectomy for myomas was 54.42%. Our results are in agreement with the data in the literature, namely that 40‑60% of all performed hysterectomies are for myomas. The vast majority of admissions for myomas involve a surgical procedure most commonly hysterectomy.
