( P £ 0.001 ) Conclusion: we think that the high incidence of anemia in symptomatic patients with uterine fibroids is related to the chronic loss of blood which caused by the organic abnormal uterine bleeding, from which complain 71.64% of study's group patients, while suffered from this complaint only 6% of control group patients.
