Reproductive Performance of Women with Fibroids
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The association between fertility and fibroid is known, however a cause-effect relationship is not established. Majority of studies are from infertility centers or referral hospitals. A retrospective study was undertaken in a Medical college drawing direct patients from a rural poor socio economic community. We compared the reproductive performance of 70 women with fibroids with equal number of age matched women attendants of Gynecological Outpatients. The fecundity of women with fibroid is 2.46 as compared to 2.56 in controls. Even though conception rate in women with sub mucous fibroids is slightly higher than controls, the live birth rate is significantly lower. The pregnancy loss in women with sub mucous fibroids is nearly double to that of control women. Women with fibroids without sub mucosal component fared equally well with controls. Hence we infer that women with sub mucous fibroids have more pregnancy losses and in a quest to have children try to have more conceptions.
