Abstract Objective: To study the impact of uterine artery embolism (UAE) for fibroids on menstrual cycle and cases of amenorrhoea in premenopausal women. Materials and Methods: One hundred forty-five premenopausal women, aged between 38-50 years, who underwent UAE were recruited in this study. Hormonal status was evaluated by means of AMH and FSH pre-procedural, three months, six, and 12 months after UAE. Menstruation abnormalities and life quality post-procedure were noted and evaluated based on a questionnaire. Results: AMH as well as FSH values 12 months post-procedure were the same compared to the pre-procedure levels. The authors found no case of permanent amenorrhea. Conclusion: Although the study results may be able to confirm the preservation of ovarian reserve and normal menstruation after UAE in premenopausal women, it should be considered as a possible menstruation treatment option of symptomatic fibroids.
