I. INTRODUCTION
Leiomyoma, also known as uterine fibroids or myomas, are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that is
often experienced by women during the childbearing years (MayoClinic).
Fibroid sizes ranges from a size undetectable by human eyes to bulky masses that can change the
contour of the large uterus. The growth can be a single fibroid to multiple ones. Multiple fibroids can grow
more that the uterus expands to the rib cage.
Many women do not recognize that they have uterine fibroids until it is accidentally diagnosed or
discovered during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.
The annual mortality rate per 100,000 people from uterine fibroids in Philippines has decreased by
41.9% since 1990, an average of 1.8% a year. This indicates an increase in the womens health
awareness. In a Philippine statistics report released by HealthGrove, in the year 2013, the mortality rate
caused by fibroids is 0.00768 per 100,000 people.
