Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Levels In Patients Before And After Salpingectomy And Hysterectomy
Keywords:
Hysterectomy, Salpingectomy, Serum AMH Levels, Gynecological SurgeryAbstract
Background: Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and, in some circumstances, the ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes and supporting tissues. Hysterectomy is one of the most performed surgeries in gynecological practice. Hysterectomy is the most common gynecological surgical procedure performed worldwide, with a rate of 2-5 per 1000 women in North America, Europe, Australia, and China. Hysterectomy is used to treat a variety of benign and malignant medical conditions, including fibroids, prolapses, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers, pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, and adenomyosis.
Objective: Determine serum AMH levels in salpingectomy and hysterectomy patients. Compare serum AMH levels in patients between before and after salpingectomy and hysterectomy. Determine the factors related to changes in serum AMH levels after salpingectomy and hysterectomy.
Methods: The research was conducted at the Educational Network Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University. The research was conducted from April – September 2024. The population of this study is all patients who underwent salpingectomy and hysterectomy at the Education Network Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University.
Results: The subjects of this study were 30-37 years old and had the same proportion related to normal BMI, overweight and obesity. Based on Table 1, it is shown that most of the subjects of this study are more than 9 years of education, not working, primipara, indications of adenomyosis surgery and uterine myoma.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study and discussion, it can be concluded that serum AMH levels in patients decreased after salpingectomy and hysterectomy. Age and BMI were not associated with changes in serum AMH levels after salpingectomy and hysterectomy. AMH levels can be a biomarker that can help predict the impact of salpingectomy and hysterectomy on women's sexual function after 1 month of undergoing salpingectomy and hysterectomy
