Diagnosis is usually made clinically when clinicians palpate an enlarged, irregular uterus during an abdominal examination and/or a pelvic examination.
Ultrasonography is informative, providing information about the number, size and location of the fibroids. Diagnostic accuracy is enhanced by combining the abdominal and vaginal approaches.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently considered the most accurate imaging method for detection and localization of myomas (uterine fibroids).
