Abstract
BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids (myomas or leiomyomas) [UF] are benign, monoclonal tumors of the uterine smooth muscle cells. Abnormal bleeding, pelvic masses, pelvic pain, infertility, bulk symptoms, and obstetric complications are some of the clinical manifestations. Due to symptoms, nearly one-third of women with leiomyomas will seek treatment. Rates of inpatient hospitalization for UF in the United States increased steadily by age from 1998 to 2005, peaking among women aged 45–49 years (6.3 per 1,000 person-years). People today require preventative health care and less difficult techniques for assessing their health. Iridology is a noninvasive, painless, and cost-effective method of checking into the body that can be used in conjunction with any other diagnostic technique. However, no known study has reported changes in the iris in uterine fibroid patients. METHODS: This observational cross-sectional study was carried out among 60 females aged 30 to 55 years. An interactive introductory lecture about the purpose of the study was explained to the subjects. After obtaining the written consent, they were subjected to detailed history taking, and their iris images were captured and documented using a 12 MP iridology camera with pro-iris software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the iris changes in the uterine area of the right iris is about 83.33% and left iris is 60%, concluding that iris diagnosis can be a pre-diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of uterine fibroids.
