'The disease ruined my life': a qualitative study of the quality of life in women with uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are difficult to live with because it affects women in many ways and impact their quality of life. The purpose of the current study was to explore the quality of life in women with uterine fibroids.

We did a study asking women to explore how uterine fibroids affected their day-to-day life. The findings showed that women were suffering beyond expectations. While women expressed devastating experiences due to the disease, they also indicated some positive elements in their day-to-day living. Perhaps we need a better understanding of what women experience due to the fibroids.
