HUGE FIBROID COMPLICATING PREGNANCY

MUNIRA V

Abstract


Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are benign smooth muscle tumours of the uterus. The potential effects of fibroids on pregnancy and the potential effects of pregnancy on  fibroids are a frequent clinical concern, since these tumours are common in women of reproductive age. Incidence is about only 21. Most of the women with fibroids do not have any complications during pregnancy related to the fibroids. Pain is the most common problem, and there may be a slightly increased risk of obstetrical complications such as miscarriage, preterm labour, abnormal fetal positions and placental abruption, PPH2,4. We have reported a extremely huge intramural myoma with 34 weeks gestation with premature rupture of membrane.
