Abstract
ObjectiveThe value of serum AMH, INHB, and bFSH levels in assessing postoperative ovarian reserve function was analyzed by measuring serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), inhibin B (INHB), and basal follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) levels in patients after laparoscopic cystectomy for endometrioma.MethodsFrom June 2019 to December 2021, 124 patients underwent laparoscopic cystectomy for endometrioma in our hospital were selected, and the serum AMH, INHB, bFSH level, antral follicle count (AFC) of all patients before and after operation were detected and compared. According to the results of postoperative testing, all the patients were divided into normal group (n = 86), diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) group (n = 27), and premature ovarian failure (POF) group (n = 11). Pearson correlation model and subject operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to analyze the correlation and diagnostic value of serum AMH, INHB and bFSH levels with postoperative ovarian reserve function, respectively.ResultsAfter operation, the levels of serum AMH, INHB and AFC in the DOR group and POF group decreased compared with those before the operation, and the serum bFSH levels increased (p < 0.05). After operation, the levels of serum AMH, INHB and AFC in DOR group and POF group were lower than those in normal group,and the serum bFSH levels were higher than the normal group; the levels of serum AMH, INHB and AFC in POF group were lower than those in DOR group, and the serum bFSH levels were higher than the DOR group (p < 0.05). Pearson analysis showed that serum AMH and INHB levels were negatively correlated with bFSH, and positively correlated with the number of AFC, the serum bFSH level was negatively correlated with the number of AFC (p < 0.05). The diagnostic values of serum AMH, bFSH, INHB and the combination of the three tests for postoperative abnormal ovarian reserve function were 0.866 (95% CI, 0.801–0.923), 0.810 (95% CI, 0.730–0.890), 0.774 (95% CI, 0.687–0.860) and 0.940 (95% CI, 0.900–0.981), respectively.ConclusionSerum AMH and INHB levels decreased and bFSH levels increased in patients after laparoscopic cystectomy for endometrioma, both of which were closely related to postoperative ovarian reserve function, and both could evaluate ovarian reserve function after ovarian cyst debulking, and the combined test could significantly improve the detection rate.
