Abstract:Objective To investigate the value of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in evaluating ovarian function after total hysterectomy and the influence of total hysterectomy on ovarian function. Methods This study was conducted at the affiliated hospital of Weifang Medical College between February and November 2013. Thirty patients aged 40 and 50 years who underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy for benign uterine diseases were enrolled into the case group and unaffected women in a similar age range constituted the control group. Serum levels of AMH, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) were assayed on the 7th to 10th day of menstruation before operation, at 1st month and 6th month of operation, respectively. At the same time, ovarian volume (OV) and ovarian stromal artery resistance index (RI) were measured through transvaginal ultrasound. Results In the case group, there were significant differences between pre-operation and at 1st month of operation in AMH [(1.49±075)μg/L vs. (1.10±0.48)μg/L], FSH [(9.45±4.05) U/L vs. (12.44±6.76) U/L], LH [(10.02±7.90) U/L vs. (13.97±7.28) U/L], E2 [(55.55±14.68) ng/L vs. (44.45±13.81) ng/L], OV [(6.63±2.37) cm vs. (3.57±1.03) cm, and FI [(0.59±0.20) vs. (0.73±0.08)]. However, only AMH levels showed a statistical significance between pre-operation and at 6th month of operation [(0.72±0.59)μg/L]. In the control group, Levels of AMH, FSH, LH and E2 levels, OV and RI at 1st and 6th month of operation were insignificantly difference compared with preoperative levels. There were significant differences at 1st month of operation between the case group and the control group in AMH [(1.47±0.75)μg/L, FSH (9.56±3.61) U/L, LH (9.94±6.04) U/L, E2 (51.53±14.60) ng/L], OV [(6.71±2.36) cm, and RI (0.69±0.21)]. Only AMH level was significant different between case group and control group [(1.46±0.83)μg/L] at 6th month of operation. Conclusion It appears that total hysterectomy causes more or less loss of ovarian reserve function. AMH was a more reliable and sensitive index for evaluating ovarian function.
