%X <strong>Introduction:</strong><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecological tumors in women of
childbearing age and have multiple clinical manifestations. <b>Objective:</b> To determine factors associated with uterine fibroids in the Borgou department
of Benin in 2022. <b>Method</b><strong>:</strong> Descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study
from August 22 to September 22, 2022. The sample consisted of women consulting
for gynecological problems in 6 hospitals in the Borgou department in the North
of Benin. Results: Of the 744 women surveyed, 10.1% were diagnosed with uterine
fibroids. Women with uterine fibroids were often married, paucigesture, and
nulliparous. Their main reasons for consultation were the desire for motherhood
(50.7%), pelvic pain (46.7%), and genital hemorrhage (14.7%). Age, history of
miscarriage, high blood pressure, and diabetes were significantly associated
with the presence of uterine fibroids (&lt;0.0001). <b>Conclusion:</b> Uterine
fibroids are common in hospitals in northern Benin. There were factors
associated with them that should be taken into account in management
strategies.</span>
