Background & Aims: Despite the high prevalence and importance of uterine myoma, no specific etiology has been proven for it so far. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with the incidence of uterine myoma in the women of reproductive age in Tehran, Iran, along 2014-2015 years.
Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, 160 women referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Valiasr Hospital in Tehran along 2014-2015 years were chosen to the study and randomly divided into case and control groups. A demographic information questionnaire and a checklist of factors related to myoma were used to collect data. Finally, the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square, t-test, and multivariate logistic regression tests using SPSS16 software.
Results: The mean age of women participating in this study was 34.69±6.57 years. Based on the data of this study, age and number of menstrual days, serum vitamin D level, menarche age, systolic blood pressure, family history, history of taking hormonal contraceptives, curettage, pregnancy history, and hypertension were directly and the duration of the menstrual cycle and Menarche age were inversely related to uterine myoma (P-value <0.05).
Conclusion: Some factors related to the occurrence of myoma such as family history and menstrual characteristics are not intervenable. However, interventions such as weight loss, avoidance of hormonal contraceptives, vitamin D consumption, and control of blood pressure can reduce the possibility of myoma.
