Abstract

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective, safe, nonsurgical treatment for uterine myomas. Although menstrual irregularities and transient amenorrhea have occurred after UAE, these reports did not provide proper hormonal documentation of ovarian failure. Our patient experienced elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes) within 4 weeks after the procedure. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of ovarian failure after UAE confirmed by comparing preprocedure FSH levels with postprocedure levels over 12 months.
