THE EFFECT OF GnRH AGONIST TREATMENT ON UTERINE ARTERY BLOOD FLOW IN PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WITH LEIOMYOMA

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of GnRH agonist goserelin on the uterine artery blood flow in premenopausal women with leiomyoma. Material and Method: Ten women with leiomyoma who were treated with goserelin preoperatively in our clinic, matched with ten control patient with similar age, body mass index and leiomyoma volume. Leiomyoma and uterus volume, uterine artery resistans index were measured before and after treatment using color Doppler ultrasound These variables were compared in goserelin patients. Furthermore, uterine artery resistans index were also compared between goserelin and control patients. Statistical analysis was performed on SPSS version 10.0 using Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric unrelated variables and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test for non-parametric repeated variables. Spearman test was used for correlations. P< 0,05 was considered significant. Results: Leiomyoma and uterus volume significantly decreased after treatment in goserelin group ( 99,5 ± 101,5 versus 55,4 ± 59,4 cm3 in leiomyoma, 283,25 ± 248,5 versus 202,1 ± 138,2 cm3 in uterus)(p< 0,05). Uterine artery resistans index didn't show any significant changes between before and after treatment in goserelin group (0,73 ± 0,1 versus 0,71 ± 0,17) (p> 0,05). Furthermore, uterine artery resistans index was not different in the control group from goserelin group after treatment (0,74 ± 0,1). Conclusion: Preoperative goserelin treatment decreases leiomyoma volume effectively. But this effect seems to be independent from uterine blood flow.
