“…Leiomyomas are mostly asymptomatic but when symptomatic, most common clinical manifestation is menorrhagia due to increased vascularity, endometrial surface and altered uterine contractility which was chief complaint in 45.97% cases in our study and studies of Geethamala et al 12 49.36%, Kaur et al 13 51.54%, Abraham and Saldanha 10 40%. It is followed by pain abdomen possibly due to degenerative changes in leiomyomas, seen in 19.23% cases in our study, similar to Lahori et al 11 In our study leiomyomas in uterus were singly seen in 52.01% uteri and multiple fibroids were seen in 48.99% uteri.…”

“…Dual pathology of adenomyosis and leiomyomas were noted in 31.07% of patients in present study similar to studies by Geethamala et al (29.1%), 12 Gowri et al (29%) 18 and Kaur et al (27.69%). 13 However studies by Lahori et al (19.23%) 11 and Kulkarni et al (16%) 15 show lower incidence. Coexistence of these lesions may be due to unopposed estrogenic stimulation.…”
