Abstract :

Background:. In tropical countries, the extent of sun exposure , skin pigmentation play an important role altering the vitamin D levels and hence the causation of uterine fioid in Indian women.

Aim and objective: To determine association between serum vitamin D, calcium and Phosphate levels with uterine fioid in premenopausal women.

Materials and Methods: Forty women with uterine fioid within the age group of 25 to 45yrs were enrolled as cases with forty healthy control. All participants were evaluated on the basis of a questionnaire, serum 25 hydroxyl vitamin D ,calcium and phosphate.

Results: Most of the cases were home makers with sun exposure less than 1 hr/day. Fioid uterus was commonly associated with multi–parity without history of oral contraceptive pills. There was a significant fall in serum Vitamin D as well as calcium levels (p<0.05) in cases with significant negative association between vitamin D and the size of fioid.

Conclusion: Vitamin D and Calcium have a strong association with uterine fioid hence could be treated as risk factors for developing advanced stage symptomatic fioid uterus.
