Background and Objectives: Fibroids are a common occurrence in women of reproductive age, with significant prevalence in the population studied. These benign tumors can impact various aspects of reproductive health, including fertility and blood flow to the uterus. Uterine artery Doppler indices are a reliable measure of blood flow and can provide valuable information for the management of fibroids. By investigating the effect of size and type of fibroids on uterine artery Doppler indices, this study expands the existing knowledge and contributes to improved care for women with fibroids.
METHODOLOGY: A descriptive study was conducted in Gilani ultrasound center for the duration of 7 months to find the effect of type and size of fibroid on uterine artery Doppler indices. With Toshiba Xario Prime with
convex probe frequency of 3.5MHz.A sample of 68 patients with different types and size of fibroid on uterine artery. The statistical programed for social sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 was used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: 68 patients were enrolled for this study Mean age of women was 37.39. Out of a total of 68 patients, 24 (35.3%) had intramural fibroid, +24 (35.3%) had submucosal fibroid and twenty patients had sub serosal
fibroid 20 (29.4%) of them. The relationship between Fibroid size and Right uterine artery with a significance level (P) 0.64 indicates a non-significant association. The relationship between Fibroid size and left uterine artery
with significance level (P) 0.549 indicates a non-significant association. Relationship between Fibroid type and right uterine artery with a significance level (P) 0.47 indicates a non-significant association. Relationship between Fibroid type and left uterine artery with a significance level (P) 0.667 indicates a non-significance association.
CONCLUSION: Study concluded that no association found between the size and type of fibroid.
