Premenstrual syndrome improvement after laser ablation of the endometrium for menorrhagia

Abstract

Laser ablation of the endometrium was performed on 18 patients for menorrhagia. The patients were evaluated for the premenstrual syndrome (PMS) preoperatively and again at three and six months postoperatively. An improvement in both the severity and duration of PMS symptoms was noted postoperatively, and the reduction in menstrual bleeding was correlated with the reduction in PMS symptoms.
