They are formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue. They can be single or multiple. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, clinical symptoms include menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, leucorrhea, abdominal mass, infertility, anemia, etc. They are more common in women aged 30 to 50, more common in women aged 40 to 50, and less common in women under 20.
