Fibroid surgery may change uterine blood flow – new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07343765
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether surgically removing uterine fibroids (myomectomy) changes blood flow in the main uterine artery. Researchers will use Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow before and about 40 days after surgery in 70 premenopausal women. The goal is to provide new insights into how fibroid removal affects uterine blood supply, which could help improve future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- myomectomy (surgical removal of uterine fibroids)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better understand how fibroid removal affects uterine blood flow, potentially guiding future treatment and follow-up plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 70 participants. It measures blood flow patterns, not direct health outcomes, so results may not change clinical practice.
