| Summary: | <strong>Foundation:</strong> tumor masses are usually incidental findings in routine obstetric ultrasounds. About 70 % of women will develop fibroids during their lifetime. Due to the high risk that benign tumors represent in pregnant women, studies on the subject are necessary. <br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to evaluate the effects of benign tumors in pregnant women treated at the Medical FOB Specialty Center, in Guayaquil, from January 2022 to January 2023. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> a descriptive case-control study was carried out with pregnant women treated from January 2022 to January 2023. These patients were monitored throughout pregnancy to evaluate obstetric complications, satisfaction with medical care, and the effectiveness of treatments. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used, including statistical analysis with 95 % confidence intervals and the Analytic Hierarchy Analysis method. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> patients with benign tumors had a significantly higher risk of obstetric complications compared to those without tumors. The most prevalent complications included threatened abortion and preterm birth, the average size of the tumors showed a significant decrease during pregnancy, suggesting that gestational development may influence the reduction of these tumors, although their initial presence is associated with a higher risk of complications. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> patients with benign tumors had a higher risk of obstetric complications compared to those without tumors. Gestational development may influence the reduction of these tumors, their initial presence is associated with a higher risk of complications. |
