Rising Prevalence of Uterine Fibroids amongst Younger Women Drives Market

These fibroids are non-cancerous tumors and are generally seen amongst women who are in the reproductive age. There are 20%-40% chances of women in developing uterine fibroids during their reproductive ages. These fibroids can swell up to cause pain and make the body look like it is pregnant. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms that indicate the formation of fibroids, which makes it difficult to prevent them from happening. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health states that around 30% of the women population around the age 35 suffer from uterine fibroids, while the chances come to 20%-80% by the time women reach the age of 50.

Drugs that designed to block the hormone progesterone can often slowdown the growth of fibroids. Several healthcare professionals also prescribe over-the-counter medications to contain the pain and bleeding.

Hysterectomy Gains Preference over Others

Of the various procedures used for treating uterine fibroids, hysterectomy is the most popular one. The hysterectomy segment is further divided into abdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, robotic hysterectomy, and hysteroscopic morcellation.

However, the growth of this segment is being challenged due to the introduction of several alternatives to the life-altering procedure.
