Abstract：
The word \"uterine fibroids\" itself indicates these are leiomyomas (a group of smooth muscle tumors that are benign), generally growing in the wall of the uterus. Nowadays, this is one of the most common diseases in women in the premenopausal age group. According to the studies, uterine fibroids are more commonly observed in women of African ancestry than white women. This article aims to educate readers on some fundamental concepts regarding uterine fibroids, such as the different types of fibroids according to various classification schemes, as well as their etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, management, and treatment, all of which must be understood by anyone studying medicine or working in the medical field. Along with reviewing current management options for uterine fibroids, it also identifies areas needing additional study to identify novel therapeutic targets and improve treatment individualization.
摘要：
“子宫肌瘤”一词本身表明这些是平滑肌瘤（一组良性的平滑肌肿瘤），通常生长在子宫壁上。如今,这是绝经前年龄组妇女中最常见的疾病之一。根据研究,与白人女性相比，非洲血统的女性更常见于子宫肌瘤。本文旨在教育读者有关子宫肌瘤的一些基本概念，例如根据各种分类方案的不同类型的肌瘤，以及它们的病因，流行病学,发病机制，管理,和治疗,所有这些都必须被任何学习医学或在医学领域工作的人所理解。在回顾当前子宫肌瘤的管理选择的同时，它还确定了需要额外研究的领域，以确定新的治疗靶点并改善治疗个体化。
