The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of myomectomy for intramural myomas on the fertility outcomes in infertile women.

All women participating in the study will be randomly allocated into two groups; myomectomy group and conservative management group. Women in the myomectomy group will be subjected to laparotomy to remove the myomas while women in the conservative management group will not be subjected to surgery. Women in the myomectomy group will be asked to abstain from having sexual intercourse (or use a barrier contraception method) for 3 months after surgery then to start having regular fertility-oriented intercourse after that. Women in the conservative management group will be asked to immediately start having regular fertility-oriented intercourse. Women in both groups will be monitored form the time of starting regular intercourse and for one year for occurrence of clinical pregnancy.
