Successful pregnancy after gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue and hysteroscopic myomectomy in a woman with diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis.
We report a patient with diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis, who wished to become pregnant. We performed hysteroscopic myomectomy after treatment with nafarelin acetate for 6 months. The patient conceived spontaneously soon after hysteroscopic myomectomy, and delivered a 2,798-g healthy baby.
