Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Leiomyoma volume change [3 Monthes]
Measure leiomyoma volume change in 3 dimensions in cm
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Dysmenorrhea [3 Monthes]
according to the visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)
- Heavy menstrual bleeding [3months]
assess any abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) by FIGO System is according to frequency, duration, regularity and flow volume.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age: 20-45 years.
-
Women with uterine leiomyoma (sub-mucous, sub-serous or intramural) based on transvaginal sonography criteria. Uterine fibroids most often appear as concentric, solid, hypoechoic masses. This appearance results from the prevailing muscle, which is observed at histologic examination. These solid masses absorb sound waves and therefore cause a variable amount of acoustic shadowing.
-
Regular menstruation: regular period interval from 21 to 35 days.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Pregnant or menopausal women.
-
History of malignancies, metabolic, hematologic, cardiac, thromboembolism, diabetes, renal or hepatic diseases.
-
History of hormonal drug use or treatment for leiomyoma in the past 3 months.
