Study on Vaginal Microecology and Cervical Local Immune Function in Patients With Uterine Fibroids of Childbearing Age

(1) In this study, 150 women of childbearing age who are diagnosed with uterine fibroids in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University (Shandong Qianfoshan Hospital) are selected as the study group; The differences of vaginal microenvironment and cervical local immune function are compared between 150 healthy women of childbearing age in the same period.
