Development of a Hierarchical Classification System for Uterine Fibroids Considering Size, Location, Growth Patterns, and Associated Symptoms

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors affecting women of reproductive age worldwide. Accurate classification of fibroids is essential for guiding treatment decisions and predicting outcomes. This paper presents the development of a hierarchical classification system for uterine fibroids that integrates size, location, growth patterns, and associated symptoms. The proposed system aims to provide a comprehensive framework for clinicians to categorize fibroids based on their clinical significance and therapeutic implications. By considering multiple dimensions of fibroid characteristics, this classification system offers a nuanced approach to patient management and personalized treatment strategies.
