Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effect of uterine non-cavity-distorting intramural fibroids on the outcome of IVF.Methods A retrospective study on patients undergoing IVF-ET in the reproductive medicine center was conducted.91 women with intramural fibroids and 100 women free of fibroids were included.All patients underwent sonography to rule out intra-cavity lesions.We compared the basic characteristics and main IVF-ET outcomes between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in basic characteristics.There was no significant difference between study and control groups in implantation rate (26.7% vs.30.5%), clinical pregnancy rate (48.0% vs.51.0%), spontaneous abortion rate (20.8% vs.31.4%), live birth rate (32.0% vs.28.0%), or premature birth rate(9.4% vs.7.1%).The follow-up results demonstrated that patients in the study group had higher cesarean section rate (81.3% vs.71.4%), but with no statistical significance.More than half of the patients with caesarean section underwent cesarean myomectomy.The intramural fibroids were 2 to 5 cm in diameter.No major hemorrhage during cesarean myomectomy was reported.Conclusion Non-cavity-distorting intramural fibroids have no effect on the outcome of IVF.
