| Abstract | ||
| Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women of childbearing age. Fibroids are made of muscle cells and other tissues that grow in and around the wall of the uterus (womb). This study aimed to examine the relationship between uterine fibroids and women’s age. This study included 30 patients of different ages (25–50) who were suspected to be diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Patients were recruited from Al-Rrazy private hospital and private laboratories. Patient information, including name and age, was recorded. Pathological fibroid samples were collected postoperatively and fixed in 10% formalin for histopathological analysis. The present work revealed a significant difference in uterine fibroids with increasing age; 80% of phase 1 showed a substantial increase in women aged 40–50. Histopathological findings in phase 1 showed cellular leiomyoma with mitotic figures, sheets of smooth muscle cells arranged in parallel, and no stromal collagen. In conclusion, the incidence and prevalence rates of uterine fibroids in the normal population of Al-Ramadi city are comparable to those reported in other parts of the globe. Rates of uterine fibrosis ranged between age groups and reached 35% of women. The most affected cases were between 40 and 50 years of age in phase 1. | ||
