ABSTRACT
This study measured the changes in uterine volume, uterine vascular resistive index and lumbar vertebral bone density before and after a six-month course of leuprolide acetate depot in women with uterine leiomyomas. All nine patients studied were black. The high baseline bone density of black women may provide a greater scope for the use of gonadotropin agonists as compared to women in the general population. A significant reduction in uterine volume was achieved in the patients with leuprolide therapy. Uterine vascular resistive indices were not altered consistently following leuprolide therapy in women with leiomyomas.
