A prospective analysis of therapy results of 56 patients with uterine fibroid after uterine artery embolisation was made. The effect of uterine artery embolisation on the functional status of the ovaries by assessing the level of sex hormones, echostructure of ovaries and myomayous uterine, ovaries blood supply and nodes on Doppler parameters was studied. Localization of the major nodes at the bottom and tubular angles of uterus to uterine artery embolization reduces blood flow and develops hypo-ovarionism by type of luteal-phase defect. Localization of nodes in the front and back uterine walls does not affect the ovaries blood flow and does not reduce their functional activity before and after embolization.

Key words: uterine fibroid, uterine artery embolisation.
