A Multimodal Ultrasound Observation Study on the Effect of Vitamin D on Uterine Fibroids in Non-menopausal Women.

What Was Tested

The paper reports a study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, published as a randomized controlled trial.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D on the size, hardness, and blood flow of uterine fibroids in premenopausal women by multimodal ultrasound.

Why It Was Studied

It has been reported in the literature that Vitamin D can inhibit the growth of uterine fibroids, but the evaluation index is only the size of the uterine fibroids.

Who Took Part

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, women only.

How the Study Was Run

In design terms this was a randomized study.

The participants were allocated by chance, so the Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc group and the comparison group should start out alike.

What Was Measured

It has been reported in the literature that Vitamin D can inhibit the growth of uterine fibroids, but the evaluation index is only the size of the uterine fibroids.

The subject headings attached to it are Leiomyoma, Vitamin D, Ultrasonography, Uterine Neoplasms, Vitamin D Deficiency, Multimodal Imaging and Premenopause.

Author keywords: Pre-menopausal women, Uterine fibroids, blood flow grade, elastic strain ratio and multimodal ultrasound.
