Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Women aged 18 to 45 years Patients with symptomatic intramural uterine fibroids- Presence of 1 to 3 uterine fibroids Uterine size equivalent to 14–16 weeks of gestation Patients who provide informed consent to participate in the study Uterine fibroids larger than 5 cm in diameter Preoperative hemoglobin level above 10 g/dL

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with known bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia, von Willebrand disease) Patients currently receiving anticoagulant therapy or other medications affecting coagulation Breastfeeding women Patients with hepatic disease, cardiomyopathies, congestive heart failure (CHF), ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertension (HTN), dyslipidemia, diabetes, or recent vascular thrombosis Patients with gynecological malignancies Prior treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues Preoperative hemoglobin level below 10 g/dL Patients with a history of allergic reactions to misoprostol or other contraindications to its use - Patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 35 kg/m², as it may complicate surgery and affect outcomes Patients with multiple large fibroids that may significantly alter the standard abdominal myomectomy procedure

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Intraoperative blood loss (mL). Timepoint: Intraoperative blood loss (mL) assessed during surgery. Method of measurement: Intraoperative blood loss (mL):Measured by summing:Volume in suction container (mL).Weight of soaked surgical gauzes (1g = 1mL blood).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Hemoglobin levels (mg/dL). Timepoint: Measured via standard lab tests (pre-op and 24h post-op). Method of measurement: standard lab tests.;Surgery duration (minutes). Timepoint: ecorded from first incision to closure. Method of measurement: Recorded from first incision to closure (OR timer).;Need for blood transfusion (yes/no). Timepoint: Documented if hemoglobin drops below 7 mg/dL (hospital protocol). Method of measurement: Documented if hemoglobin drops below 7 mg/dL (hospital protocol).
