The problem of preserving the reproductive function in women with uterine fibroids has now acquired significant social and medical importance. The increasing incidence of uterine fibroids in women of reproductive age is more frequently raising the question for obstetricians-gynecologists about the possibility of achieving and successfully completing pregnancy in the presence of this condition. The article analyzes literature data concerning gestational and perinatal complications associated with uterine fibroids.
