Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ulipristal acetate therapy for uterine myoma in reproductive-aged patients with simple and proliferating uterine myoma. Subjects and methods. A prospective randomized trial of the efficacy of ulipristal acetate was conducted in 30 patients with simple (Group 1) and proliferating (Group 2) uterine myoma. Results. After three-month treatment, amenorrhea was observed in 70 and 90% of the patients in Group 1 and 2, respectively. Three months after treatment initiation, ultrasonography revealed reductions in the diameter of nodules by 27 and 47% in these groups, respectively. There was a decrease in median M-echo up to 4-5 mm in 80% of the patients in both groups; the endometrial thickness was as high as 8 mm in 10% and that increased up to 12-14 mm in 10%. Conclusion. The findings show that ulipristal acetate may be recommended as an agent for preoperative preparation in the groups of patients with both simple and proliferating uterine myoma.
