Analysis of high intensity focused ultrasound in treatment of uterine fibroids on ovarian function and pregnancy outcome

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the ovarian function and pregnancy outcome of patients with uterine fibroids and the influencing factors after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation treatment.Methods: A total of 80 patients were recruited. All patients were divided into the pregnancy group (64 cases) and the non-pregnancy group (16 cases). The pregnancy group was categorized into the good pregnancy outcome (GOP) group (46 cases) and adverse pregnancy outcome (APO) group (18 cases). The general data of all study subjects were collected. The changes of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin B (INHB), and antral follicle count (AFC) before HIFU and 3, 6, and 12 months after HIFU were com-

The challenge of FIGO type 3 leiomyomas and infertility: Exploring therapeutic alternatives amidst limited scientific certainties

“…The success observed in HIFU studies may be attributed to the preservation of female genital anatomy, shorter recovery times, and faster time to pregnancy 63 . Additionally, HIFU treatment has shown no negative impact on ovarian function, as demonstrated by Liu et al., 64 with no significant differences in AMH, FSH, INHB, and AFC levels at 6 and 12 months after HIFU compared to pretreatment levels.…”

“…These studies were retrospective. [ 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ] It was a comparative study between the HIFU and laparoscopic myomectomy groups. [ 12 13 14 ] The only data for the HIFU group were from these studies,[ 15 16 17 ] whereas data for the laparoscopic myomectomy group were from these studies only.…”
