Baseline demographics, leiomyoma characteristics, and presence of baseline LUTS were collected. The main objective was to compare the prevalence of LUTS between these two groups. Secondary objectives were to analyze the association between leiomyoma characteristics and the prevalence of LUTS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n There was no difference in baseline prevalence of LUTS between the hysterectomy for leiomyoma versus AUB-N groups (42.6% vs. 45.5%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.67). When examining the entire study cohort of participants, irrespective of hysterectomy indication, leiomyoma size >6 cm was associated with an increased prevalence of LUTS when compared with leiomyoma <6 cm (64.9% vs. 40.4%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.02), and specifically difficulty passing urine (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.02), nocturia (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04), and urinary frequency (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04). When controlling for age, body mass index, parity, chronic pelvic pain, and diabetes, leiomyomas >6 cm remained significantly associated with the presence of LUTS (odds ratio 3.1, 95% confidence interval = 1.2\u20138.3) when compared with leiomyoma <6 cm. Presence of >1 leiomyoma was associated with urinary frequency (67.9% vs. 32.1%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.02) when compared with \u22641 leiomyoma. Anterior location and uterine volume were not associated with a difference in LUTS.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n LUTS are prevalent in those planning hysterectomy for leiomyoma and AUB-N. Leiomyomas >6 cm are associated with the presence of LUTS.
