OCCURRENCE OF UTERINE MYOMA IN WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE IN KHOREZM REGION

Abstract

This article presents the results of published works of both domestic and foreign authors concerning the study of uterine myoma etiology. Uterine myoma is the most common benign tumor of the female genital area, occurs in 20—44% of women of reproductive age, and seriously worsens the quality of life for a significant part of the female population. The published studies proved the important role of sex steroid hormones in the pathogenesis of uterine myoma and led to the use of hormonal therapy in patients with myoma. The lack of effective drugs is a consequence of the lack of understanding of the causes of uterine myoma. Despite the prevalence of leiomyoma, there are currently no conservative, long-term, and effective treatments for myoma patients that do not affect their reproductive function. This problem needs further study.
