The results showed that: free from abdominal pain were about 87.5 and 81.25% respectively and free from menorrhagia were 66.7% and 50% respectively. The thickness of transitional zone was reduced from 33 to 22.1mm. Average reducing of uterine volume was from 274.4 to 215.9cm3, corresponding to 19.5% of decreased volume. No contrast enhancement on MRI were found at 7 patients (7/10). 100% patients felt abdominal pain at the end of the procedure, especially 94,1% strongly pain. Hospitalization time was only 1-2 days in 94,1% of patients.
