Their growth, often facilitated by hormonal influences like estrogen and progesterone, can cause considerable disruptions in the uterus, leading to symptoms and complications that impact the quality of life and reproductive prospects of women.This article provides an exhaustive discussion of uterine fibroids, including pathophysiology, their impact on endometrial function, receptivity, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes, and the management of infertility in patients with uterine fibroids. It underlines the critical role of uterine fibroids in women's reproductive health, emphasizing the importance of effective diagnosis and treatment to promote fertility and improve pregnancy outcomes.
