Heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and infertility are the main clinical manifestations linked to uterine fibroids. Hormonal contraceptives, including coformulated estrogen and progestin oral contraceptives, progestin-only birth control pills, and long-lasting levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, have long been used to manage heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), but they do not reduce fibroid tumor volume or resolve bulk symptoms. During the forecast period, launches of novel selective progesterone receptor regulators (SPRMs) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) antagonists will provide more efficacious medical alternatives over procedures such as hysterectomy and myomectomy in the long-term management of uterine fibroids.
