Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: This summary describes what researchers learned during interviews of women with uterine fibroids and heavy menstrual bleeding (or period bleeding). At this time, little is known about how women perceive the impact of uterine fibroids on their lives and more information is needed. The goal of this study was to provide new information about the symptoms women have and how these symptoms affect their everyday lives. These interviews were done to better understand how uterine fibroid symptoms affect the lives of women in their own words.
UNASSIGNED: Thirty women from the United States, who had completed a clinical trial for a new treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding and uterine fibroids, agreed to be interviewed. The women described what their experiences with uterine fibroids were and the impact these experiences with uterine fibroids had on their lives before participating in the clinical trial. The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids the women described were heavy bleeding with their menstrual periods, pain in the pelvis or groin area, the passing of blood clots, and anemia (or low hemoglobin in red blood cells). Women said their symptoms affected them physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. They also said their symptoms made it hard to do daily activities, sleep, have a sex life, and go to work or school.
UNASSIGNED: Women who have heavy menstrual bleeding and uterine fibroids experience various uterine fibroid symptoms, and these symptoms affect most parts of the their lives.
