Background: Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths and most commonly found in the women of reproductive age associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and menstruation that lasts for more than a week. Ultrasound is the diagnostic modality used in this study for the detection of fibroid. Objective: To determine the frequency of uterine fibroids between the age 20 to 40 on ultrasound at FMH. Methodology: A randomize observational descriptive study was conducted in patients with fibroids by ultrasound. Heavy menstrual bleeding and infertility are variable degree of this disease. This study included the frequency of uterine fibroids in young females. Data was taken from the radiology department of FMH. About 40-45 cases of fibroids are included in this study. Results: 55 female patients were examined out of which 43 (78.18%) have uterine fibroids present with heavy menstrual bleeding which last for more than one week along with severe pelvic pain and most of them were presented with the history of infertility and 12 (21.81%) patients have no uterine fibroids. Conclusion: Study showed that the frequency of the patients with fibroids is higher who presented with abnormal and prolonged menstrual bleeding than the patients without abnormal bleeding. 43 (78.18%) patients out of 55 patients had uterine fibroids and 12 (21.81%) patients had no uterine fibroids. Ultrasound is the best diagnostic modality
