Abstract
Purpose: The responsiveness of the uterine fibroid symptom after Uterine artery embolization for the treatment of Uterine fibroids with healthrelated quality of life questionnaire (UFS-QOL).
Method and objective: Follow- up study from January 2019 to July 2020, we treated 36 patients who manifest symptom cliniclly (mean 38,08±6.26 year, range 24-59 years). quality of life test before and after treatment for 3 months and 6 months. The find the relationship between treatment outcomes and quality of life.

stopped menorrhagia, 85,7% of patients had stopped abdominal pain, the mean tumor volume decreased after 3 months and% after 6 months (p <0.05).
Quality of life score improved 42 points after 6 months.
Conclusion: Uterine fibroid embolization seems to lead to notable long-term relief of fibroid- associated symptoms. In comparison with the midterm results, long-term outcome shows a clear continuance of improvement in general quality of life
