Uterine asymptomatic myomas: An overview from diagnosis to treatment

Objective. Uterine myomas represent the most common benign gynecological tumors and about 40-60% of patients with fibroids are asymptomatic. The diagnosis is often incidental and the treatment depends on patient's age, size of fibroids, estimated rate of growth, woman's fertility plans and risk of malignancy. Despite the prevalence, scientific research regarding asymptomatic fibroids is still underfunded compared with other nonmalignant diseases and actually, no guidelines are reported about management and treatment of themselves.
