Myoma-associated pain frequency and intensity: a retrospective evaluation of 1548 myoma patients

Myoma-associated pain is, alongside hypermenorrhea, the most frequent problem reported by the affected patients. Unlike premenstrual pain and pain during sexual intercourse, the intensity of menstrual pain is clearly dependent on the location and size of the largest myoma. Further research is needed to better understand the degree to which the pain reported by the patients is due to features of the myomas versus other possible factors.
