Abstract

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Women frequently suffer from ovarian and uterine conditions that impact
their health, such as fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts. Fibroids are present in around
66.5% of women having a hysterectomy, but non-neoplastic lesions are more prevalent.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between clinical symptoms and microscopic
analysis in patients with uterine and ovarian abnormalities. METHODS: The retrospective
cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2023 and September 2024 at
Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. A total of 118 patients, who had fibroids and
abnormal bleeding were included in the study. Microscopically, the thickness, width, and
length of the uterus and ovaries were measured. Correlation analysis was performed using
SPSS version 22, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Among the 118
individuals, symptoms such as irregular menstruation, pelvic pain, and abnormal bleeding
were prevalent. Significant correlations have been found between the left ovary's dimensions;
there was a high connection p=0.01 between its thickness, width, and length. Similarly, there
were associations between clinical symptoms and uterine dimensions, including length
mean=10.962cm, SD±9.5, p=0.01, width p<0.01, and thickness p=0.01. The presence of
fibroids, with an average length of 1.386cm, was also strongly correlated with symptoms
p=0.01. CONCLUSION: The strong correlation between ovarian and uterine dimensions and
associated symptoms indicates their potential as valuable diagnostic indicators for
reproductive health. Incorporating dimensional data into clinical assessments could lead to
more personalized treatment approaches and improved symptom management.
