Material and Methods: A prospective comparative controlled study of 95 reproductive age women planning a pregnancy with symptomatic uterine fibroids was conducted. 32 patients receiving HIFU treatment and 35 women receiving surgical treatment under laparoscopic myomectomy were examined. A control group was existing 28 healthy fertile women, examined voluntarily.
