Background: Nowadays, the prevalence of uterine myoma in pregnant women has increased due to the increasing age of pregnancy in women. Due to the possibility of bleeding andmiscarriage, the surgical management of uterine myoma with myomectomy is limited, andmany obstetricians and gynaecologists recommend that myomectomy be performed afterdelivery.
