UTERUS (1)
• Uterus is situated in the pelvic cavity between the bladder anteriorly and the rectum posteriorly
• Almost the entire posterior wall of the uterus is covered by visceral peritoneum.
• The upper portion of the anterior wall of the uterus reflects forward onto the bladder dome to create the vesicouterine pouch
![Page 4: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
UTERUS (2)
• The lower portion of this peritoneum forms the anterior boundary of the pouch of Douglas.
• The lower portion of the anterior uterine wall is united to the posterior wall of the bladder by a well-defined loose layer of connective tissue. This is the vesicouterine space.

UTERUS (3)
• The uterus is described as being pyriform or pear-shaped• It consists of two major parts:
– an upper triangular portion (the body or corpus)– a lower (the cervix) which projects into the vagina.
![Page 6: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
UTERUS (4)
• The uterus of adult nulliparous women measures 6 to 8 cm in length as compared with 9 to 10 cm in multiparous women.
• In nonparous women, the uterus averages 50 to 70 g and in parous women it averages 80 g or more
![Page 7: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CERVIX (1)
• The cervical portion of the uterus is fusiform and open at each end by small apertures (the internal and external os)
• The lower vaginal portion of the cervix is called the portio vaginalis.
• Before childbirth, the external cervical os is a small, regular, oval opening
![Page 8: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CERVIX (2)
• After labor the orifice is converted into a transverse slit that is divided anterior and posterior lips of the cervix.
• If torn deeply during delivery the cervix may heal in such a manner that it appears to be irregular, nodular, or stellate.
![Page 9: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ENDOMETRIUM• This is a mucosal layer
which lines the uterine cavity in non pregnant women. It is a thin, pink, velvet like membrane.
• The endometrium normally varies greatly in thickness. It is composed of surface epithelium, glands, and interglandular mesenchymal tissue in which there are numerous blood vessels
![Page 10: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MYOMETRIUM
• This is composed of bundles of smooth muscle united by connective tissue in which there are many elastic fibers.
• The interlacing myometrial fibers that surround the myometrial vessels are integral to control of bleeding from the placental site during the third stage of labor.

• Lymphatics from the cervix terminate mainly in the internal iliac nodes
• The lymphatics from the uterine corpus are distributed to two groups of nodes– Internal iliac nodes– Para-aortic lymph nodes

INNERVATION
• Pelvic nerve, consist of :– Sympathetic nervous system 11th and 12th thoracic
nerve roots transmit the painful stimuli of contraction to the central nervous system
– Parasympathetic nervous systems made up of a few fiber from second, third, and fourth sacral nerve
– Cerebrospinal

Definition
• Leiomyomas are the most frequently seen tumors of the female reproductive system.
• Leiomyomas, also known as uterine myomas, Fibroids, or fibromas.
• They are firm, compact tumors that are made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue that develop in the uterus.

• Subserosal
from myocytes adjacent to the uterine serosa, the growth is directed outward.• Intramural
situated in the middle layer of the uterine muscle• Submucous
proximate to the endometrium and grow toward and bulge into the endometrial cavity• Pedunculated
attached only by a stalk to their progenitor myometrium• Intraligamentary
subserosal variants that attach themselves to nearby pelvic structures from which they derive vascular support

Risk Factor
» Women are most likely to be diagnosed with leiomyomas during their 40s; however, it is not clear whether this is because of increased formation or increased leiomyoma growth secondary to hormonal changes during this time.

Risk Factor
» Early age at menarche results in an increased cumulative exposure to estrogen and progesterone and a higher lifetime number of cell divisions in the myometrium, increasing the probability of cellular mutation.
» Age at menarche is inversely associated with risk of uterine leiomyoma. Menarche occuring at age 10 years or older was associated with 50% increase in risk for leiomyoma confirmes by hysterectomy compared with menarche occuring at age 12 years or older.

Obesity
• Having a family member with Leiomyoma increases your risk.• First-degree relatives of women with myomas have a 2.5 times increased risk of developing leiomyomas. • Women reporting myomas in two first-degree relatives are more than twice as likely to have strong expression of VEGF-a (a myoma-related growth factor) than women who have leiomyomas but no family history.
![Page 27: Topic List](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563db9e2550346aa9aa0d1dd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Risk Factor
» African-American women are more likely to develop leiomyomas than white women.
» Study found that the Val/Val genotype of an enzyme essential to estrogen metabolism, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), is found in 47% of African American women but only 19% of white women. Women with this genotype are more likely to develop myomas, which may explain the higher prevalence of myomas among African-American women.

Risk Factor
» Obesity increases conversion of adrenal androgens to estrogene and decreases sex hormone–binding globulin. The result is an increase in biologically available estrogen, which may explain an increase in myoma prevalence and/ or growth.
» Obesity is associated with uterine Leiomyomas. The risk of obese women developing leiomyoma is 2-3 times greater than women of average weight.
» The risk of myomas increased 21% with each 10 kg increase in body weight and with increasing body mass index. Similar findings have been reported in women with greater than 30% body fat.

• Uterine leiomyomas are estrogen-and progesterone-sensitive tumors
• Develop : reproductive years • Regress ina size : after menopause• Sex steroid hormones mediate effect
- Stimulating or inhibiting transcription
- Production of cellular growth factors

Leiomyomas themselves create
a hyperestrogenic environment
(growth and maintenance)
A greater density of estrogen receptors
(greater estradiol binding)
Convert less estradiol to the
weaker estrone
Involves higher levels of cytochrome P450
aromatase
(catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogen in a
number of tissues)

Progestins The role of progesterone is both inhibitory and stimulatory effects.
Inhibitory Stimulatory
Exogenous progestins limit leiomyoma growth
(Goldzieher, 1966; Tiltman, 1985)
Progestins + agonist increased leiomyoma growth
(Carr, 1993; Friedman, 1994).
Medroxyprogesterone lower leiomyoma development
(Lumbiganon, 1996).
Antiprogestin (mifepristone) induces atrophy in most leiomyomas
(Murphy, 1993).
Women treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists,
leiomyomas typically decrease in size.
