Abstract

The study investigated the impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) on coagulation and fibrinolytic activities and its effectiveness in the prevention of pelvic adhesion after myomectomy. Thirty-two infertile women underwent myomectomy followed by adhesion evaluation surgery with a second-look laparoscopy. Before myomectomy, 15 women were treated with triptorelin acetate for 3 months and 17 received no treatment. Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), protein C (PC), plasminogen, α2-antiplasmin were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and the activity of coagulation factors V and VIII by coagulometric methods. Patients treated with GnRH-a showed significant decrease in PAI, TAFI, factors V, and VIII (P < .05) and increased PC (P < .05), but no significant change in plasminogen and α2-antiplasmin levels compared with control group. The incidence, extent, and severity of adhesions were significantly lower in GnRH-a-treated patients compared with control group (P < .05), suggesting a possible critical role of the GnRH-a therapy in preventing postoperative adhesion development.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
