摘要

子宫肌瘤，或称平滑肌瘤，是女性在生育期最常见的肿瘤。在大多数国家，它们是绝经前妇女子宫切除术最常见的指征，因此是一个重大的公共卫生问题。本章将讨论这些常见肿瘤的流行病学。还将讨论就这些肿瘤的总费用而言对社区的社会经济影响，以及就子宫平滑肌瘤的症状及其对妇女生活的影响和后果而言，子宫平滑肌瘤对个别妇女的社会影响。

1 Introduction: the epidemiology of uterine leiomyomas

Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are the most common tumours in women during the reproductive years. In most countries, they are the most frequent indication for hysterectomy in pre-menopausal women and therefore present a major public health issue. In this chapter, the epidemiology of these common tumours will be discussed. Also discussed will be the socio-economic impact on the community in terms of the overall cost of these tumours, as well as the social impact of uterine leiomyomas on the individual woman in terms of symptoms and the effect and consequences of these on her life.
