Abstract

Menstrual blood loss was measured by intravenous injection of radioactive iron (59Fe) and whole-body counting in 19 women complaining of menorrhagia due to dysfunctional bleeding. Fifteen patients were then treated by radiofrequency endometrial ablation, after which blood loss was re-measured. The majority of the patients were bleeding excessively before treatment (mean 281 (SD 156) ml per cycle averaged over two cycles, range 49-665 ml, n = 19). In the 15 treated patients, average blood loss was reduced to 52 (SD 39) ml per cycle and the mean reduction in blood loss was highly significant (P < 0.001). These quantitative data correlate well with the patients' subjective reports.

子宫内膜消融治疗月经过多方法的验证。

对19例功能性出血所致月经过多的妇女，采用放射性铁(59Fe)静脉注射及全身计数法测定月经失血量。15例患者接受射频子宫内膜消融治疗，术后重新测量出血量。大多数患者在治疗前出血过多(平均每个周期281 ml (SD 156) ml，平均两个周期，范围49-665 ml, n = 19)。在15例接受治疗的患者中，每周期平均失血量减少到52 ml (SD 39)，平均失血量减少非常显著(P < 0.001)。这些定量数据与患者的主观报告相吻合。
