Objective To study uterine artery Doppler indices in uterine fibroid with or without abnormal uterine bleeding. Background Myomas or fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system, and although many remain asymptomatic, their effect on individual well-being can be significant. Patients and methods This prospective nonrandomized case–control study was carried out at the obstetrics and gynecology clinics of Menoufia University Hospital and Berkat Elsabaa General Hospital on 132 patients with uterine fibroids. Ethical approval of the study protocol was obtained from Menoufia Faculty of Medicine. All participants signed an informed consent form before commencing the study. The study included 132 women with uterine fibroids. They were divided into two groups. Group I included 66 women with uterine bleeding, and group II included 66 women without uterine bleeding. Results Our results found that 132 patients included in this study were perimenopausal, with age ranged from 40 to 45 years. Conclusion Transvaginal Doppler sonography as a sensitive, specific, and noninvasive method has a significant place in the diagnostic procedure for evaluation of uterine fibroid in females with or without abnormal uterine bleeding.
