ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intramural uterine myoma in patients with a normal endometrial cavity on IVF-ET cycle outcome. This study was also investigated to find out whether medical supression or myomectomy needs to precede to IVF-ET.METHODS:
The subjects were 300 infertile patients who got IVF-ET from January 1999 to December 2002 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Kyungpook National University Hospital, and they were divided into myoma group of 97 patients and non-myoma group of 203 ones. This study group did not include patients found to have large myoma (>or= 7 cm), or myoma distorting the uterine cavity.RESULTS:
Compared with the results of IVF-ET according to the presence of intramural uterine myoma, pregnancy rate and implantation rate between two groups had no statistically significant differences (p>0.05). Further comparisons within the myoma group showed no difference in pregnancy rate by number of myomas or site of myomas (p>0.05).CONCLUSION:
Intramural uterine myoma not distorting the uterine cavity is considered to have no effect on the outcome of IVF-ET and no difference in the pregnancy rate according to the number of myomas or site of myomas. Therefore, these findings suggest that medical treatments or myomectomy before IVF-ET is not necessary to those infertile patients with intramural uterine myomas not distorting the uterine cavity.
