子宫肌瘤或纖維肌瘤——一种肌肉結締组织的良性腫瘤,是子宫良性新生物中最为常見者之一。通常認为每10个妇科病人中有一个罹患子宫肌瘤者。不但如此,某些学者(E.Novak等人)甚至認为在35岁以后每5个妇女中就有一个子宫肌瘤患者。肌瘤主要見于30—45岁之妇女,但有时亦見于20—30岁之間者。由此可見,在討論子宫肌瘤的問題时,我們必須估計到兩个極重要的情况,即本病的發生率是相当高的,且它最常見于生育力旺盛的年龄。 Uterine fibroids or fibroids - a benign tumor of the connective tissue of the muscle, is one of the most common benign neoplasms of the uterus. It is commonly assumed that one in 10 gynecological patients has uterine fibroids. Not only that, some scholars (E.Novak et al.) Even consider that one woman with uterine fibroids out of every 5 women after 35 years of age. Fibroids are mainly seen in women aged 30-45, but sometimes also in the 20-30 years of age. Thus, in discussing the problem of uterine fibroids, we must estimate the two most important situation, the incidence of this disease is very high, and it is most commonly seen in fertile age.
