    Pelvic angiography revealed widespread myometrial artery occlusion in women with amenorrhea (absent periods) and hypomenorrhea (light periods) after uterine procedures. This vascular damage likely explains reduced menstrual flow and poor obstetric history.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Vascular Imaging
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Amenorrhea and hypomenorrhea can occur after uterine procedures like curettage.
    • Understanding the underlying causes of these menstrual irregularities is crucial for reproductive health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the vascular status of the myometrium in patients experiencing amenorrhea and hypomenorrhea post-curettage.
    • To correlate vascular findings with menstrual abnormalities and obstetric history.

    Main Methods:

    • Pelvic angiography was utilized to examine the uterine vasculature.
    • A cohort of 12 patients with post-procedural amenorrhea/hypomenorrhea was compared to 6 controls with normal menstrual cycles.

    • Widespread vascular occlusion of myometrial arteries was identified in 7 out of 12 cases.
    • This vascular damage correlated with reduced endometrial tissue during diagnostic curettage and significantly decreased menstrual loss.

    Conclusions:

    • Myometrial artery occlusion is a significant finding in patients with amenorrhea and hypomenorrhea following curettage.
    • This vascular damage may be responsible for menstrual irregularities and contribute to a history of poor obstetric outcomes.
