Abstract:
Changes in menstrual pattern after tubal sterilisation have been reported for more than 50 years. Hence all tubal surgeries have been suspected of altering the ovarian reserve, by damage to the ovarian blood vessels. Recent studies showed that tubal surgery has no significant adverse effect on doppler flow indice and hormonal markers. Hysterectomy and uterine artery embolization seem to decrease ovarian reserve in perimenopausal women. Uterine artery embolization does not seem to have adverse effects on normally functioning ovaries.
