Background: Fibroids are the most common benign tumours of smooth muscle cells of uterus in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. As fibroid is an estrogen and progesterone dependent tumour, it gradually decreases in size during starting of menopause. The objective of this presented study was to determine management options among fibroid uterus patients. Methods: 50 number of patients were included in this study those who’s age of 20-55, with symptomatic uterine fibroid and undergone hysterectomy or myomectomy. Postmenopausal, Pregnancy and Asymptomatic fibroid were excluded from this study. Results: The study showed that 52 percent of patient having fibroid uterus were belonged to 31-40 years of age. The mean age was 41.2±6.07. The majority 74% of patients in this study presented with menstrual abnormalities, 40% presented with abdominal lump. Dysmenorrhoea was 26%, 6% patient had primary subfertility and 14% secondary subfertility. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) with unilateral salpingo- oophorectomy done in 10% cases, TAH with bilateral salpino-oophorectomy in 22% cases, non descent vaginal hysterectomy in 6% cases, myomectomy done in 20% cases and polypectomy was done in 2% cases. Conclusion: Uterine fibroids are very common in women and frequently in late reproductive and perimenopausal years. It is also a common gynecological problem in our country, which frequently disturbs the lives of woman. Women now have choice of therapies for the treatment of fibroids.

Leiomyoma is one of the most commonly encountered benign gynaecological neoplasms. With a wide range of symptoms, sometimes even asymptomatic, these tumors are easy to diagnose and treat, unless there are degenerative changes, which makes them difficult to diagnose and differentiating them from other serious conditions including malignancy, thereby, complicating their management also. Here, the case present to you a case of 48-year-old women with symptoms and clinical examination suggesting fibroid uterus but imaging studies inconclusive to differentiate fibroid uterus with ovarian malignancy, thus, creating a diagnostic dilemma. Ultimately, patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, keeping possibility of ovarian malignancy. Histopathological examination of the specimen of total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy concluded extensive cystic degeneration of leiomyoma and no evidence of malignancy.

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common gynaecological procedure performed worldwide. Abdominal hysterectomy remains the most common approach though recently there has been preference towards laparoscopic hysterectomy. Fibroid uterus is the most common indication for hysterectomy followed by pelvic organ prolapse, benign ovarian tumour and abnormal uterine bleeding. The objective of this study was to analyse the indication, outcome and correlate the clinical indication with the histopathological diagnosis.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, from January 2017 to December 2019. This is a descriptive analysis of the patients who had undergone abdominal hysterectomy during the study period.Results: A total of 801 patients underwent abdominal hysterectomy and the most common indication was fibroid uterus (n=391, 48.81%), followed by abnormal uterine bleeding. The total complication rate was 3.24% (n=26) and we had one (0.1%) mortality. Histopathological analysis of the specimen revealed leiomyoma (54.43%) as the most common finding. The clinical indication and histopathological diagnosis matched in 373 (86.94%) patients.Conclusions: Abdominal hysterectomy is the most common approach and it is associated with risk of complications, so the indication for hysterectomy should be adequately evaluated. With the improvement in the different organ-preserving options, hysterectomy in benign disease should only be opted when all the other conservative options fails.

Vesicouterine fistula is an uncommon urogenital fistula. The incidence is on the rise because of increasing incidence of Caesarean sections. Cyclical Haematuria or Menouria is an important clinical feature of this fistula which may or may not be associated with urinary incontinence depending on the location of the fistulous tract. We present a case report of Post caesarean section Vesicouterine fistula following 2 Caesarean sections. This was successfully managed by laparotomy with repair of fistulous tract in bladder wall and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for multiple Fibroid uterus done. Menouria is a rare event in Gynecology and one should always keep this possibility in mind when there is cyclical haematuria. A 42 year old Bangladeshi woman was hospitalized with complaints of menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain for last 8 years, cyclical hematuria for last 20 years. She was mildly anemic, haemodynamically stable and regularly menstruating women. The primary Ultrasound scans suggested multiple fibroid with cystic ovary in left side. Cystoscopy was done and findings are a fistulous opening in the bladder measuring around 7mm in size. It was supratrigonal in position. The patient had no history of Endometriosis, Pelvic irradiation therapy, Inflammatory disease, Trauma or Malignancy. Initially there was dilemma in her diagnosis and the patient was diagnosed as a case of bladder Endometriosis besides fibroid uterus. So surgery was planned and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy & bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy done. There was a fistula about 3cm × 2cm in the lower part of the body of uterus connecting with the base of Bladder. Fistula repaired after dissection, patient follow up done and catheter removed after 14 days without any complications. Vesicouterine fistula can be prevented if care is taken to separate the bladder from the uterus during repeat Caesarean sections.

Background: Often hysterectomy remains the only option available in many gynaecological conditions, though it is resented by most women. This study aims to analyse the cases of hysterectomy performed in a tertiary care centre in India, with a view to modify and improve health care provided to women.Methods: A retrospective analysis of 500 cases of elective hysterectomy in Sree Gokulam Medical College and Research Foundation from January 2016 to December 2017 was done from hospital records. The observations according to age, indications of hysterectomy, route of hysterectomy and preservation of ovaries were statistically analysed.Results: 35.2% (176 cases) were between 45 and 50 years. Mean age was 48±2 years. 90.4% (452 cases) were done in women above 40 years of age. The commonest indication for hysterectomy was symptomatic fibroid uterus 59.4% (297 cases). 81.8% (409 cases) women underwent abdominal hysterectomy while 18.2 % (91 cases) women underwent vaginal hysterectomy or laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. 84.6% (77 of 91 cases) of vaginal hysterectomy was done for prolapse uterus. Preservation of one or both ovaries was done in 47.2% (236 cases).Conclusions: Hysterectomy is usually done after the age of 40 years with the mean age being 48±2 years. Symptomatic fibroid uterus was the most common indication. The rates of vaginal hysterectomy were lower for indications other than prolapse uterus. Ovaries were preserved in several cases.

ABSTRACT We report a case of benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) recurring after 4 years of total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for fibroid uterus. Probably in this case, recurrence was due to extragonadal source of estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, patient was put on antiestrogen and antiprogesterone therapy, after hysterectomy to prevent further recurrence. Through this case, importance of surgery combined with antiestrogen and antiprogesterone therapy is emphasized. How to cite this article Agarwal A, Bhattacharya AB, Dwivedi AD, Kumar A.

A 38-year-old African American woman presenting with acute abdominal pain and nonobstructive renal failure was found to have an enlarged fibroid uterus. A differential for sepsis was considered. Lab evaluation revealed an elevated creatinine and myoglobin level at 3.9 mg/dL and 2140 ng/mL, respectively. Ongoing hemodynamic instability mandated surgery for acute abdomen. A 25 cm fibroid uterus was extirpated through a total abdominal hysterectomy. Immediate improvement of acute nephropathy mirrored the postoperative decline in serum myoglobin levels. Myoglobinemia from a massive degenerating fibroid is associated with nonobstructive acute renal failure.
