Abstract

Introduction: The most typical variety of benign uterine tumors are uterine fibroids, often known as leiomyomas or myomas. They originate from myometrium since they are uterine smooth muscle monoclonal cancers. Most of their makeup is made up of extracellular matrix (ECM), which is composed of proteoglycans, fibronectin, and collagen. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out between January 1, 2021, and January 1, 2022, by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College in Ajmer in collaboration with the department of radiology and with permission from the institute's ethics council. Results: According to the severity of vitamin d deficiency, it was found that the vitamin d levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group: 39 percent of the study group had vitamin d levels below 19 ng/ml, compared to 14 percent and 13 percent in the control group for levels between 10 and 19 ng/dl, respectively. Vit. D levels averaged 15.13 ng/ml in the study group and 24.82 ng/ml in the control group. (Profoundly higher). Only 9% of women had fibroids greater than 5, while 53% had fibroids between 3 and 4. Vitamin D and the quantity of fibroids had an antagonistic relationship (P 0.001). Conclusion: Our cross-sectional study makes vitamin D's impact in UF development difficult to identify. More comprehensive prospective cohort studies that monitor vitamin D levels and serial ultrasound imaging for uterine morphology at preset time intervals will help researchers understand how vitamin D affects UF formation, growth, or both. This hospital-based study may not fully depict the issue's regional demography.
