Primary ovarian insufficiency describes a spectrum of declining ovarian function and reduced fecundity due to a premature decrease in initial follicle number, an increase in follicle destruction, or poor follicular response to gonadotropins. The sequelae of primary ovarian insufficiency include vasomotor symptoms, urogenital atrophy, osteoporosis and fracture, cardiovascular disease, and increa...

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) can be a devastating disease impacting women below the age of forty. This involves a major decrease in the amount and quality of oocytes, or ovarian reserve in a woman. The distribution of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs10407022 and rs3741664, in Iraqi people and its association with primary ovarian insufficiency is the main objective of this study. The m...

Zusammenfassung Die prämature Ovarialinsuffizienz (POI) ist durch eine Amenorrhö und erhöhte FSH(Follikelstimulierendes Hormon)-Werte gekennzeichnet. Sie kann spontan auftreten, chronische oder Autoimmunerkrankungen, genetisch iatrogen gonadotoxische operative Therapie bedingt sein. Zur Diagnostik gehören die Bestimmung der jeweiligen Laborparameter, Sonographie, Knochendichtemessung genetische...

Primary ovarian insufficiency is the depletion or dysfunction of ovarian follicles with cessation of menses before age 40 years. There is no consensus on criteria to identify primary ovarian insufficiency in adolescents, and delay in diagnosis is common. Health care providers who make this clinical diagnosis should be mindful of the sensitive nature of this medical condition. Patients and their...

Brief Summary: This study extends the phenotypes related to pathogenic biallelic RNPC3 variants cover primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in combination with previously associated growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

Uterine artery embolization for intractable postpartum hemorrhage saves lives while preserving fertility. The procedure-related risks of uterine infarction and ovarian insufficiency are rare. A primparous patient underwent bilateral internal hypogastric artery embolization to control severe postpartum hemorrhage following primary cesarean section. The bleeding continued, and a repeat aortogram ...

BACKGROUND Ovarian tissue cryopreservation with later reimplantation has been shown to preserve fertility in adult women, but this approach remains unproven and experimental in children and adolescents. We aimed to assess the use of the Edinburgh selection criteria for ovarian tissue cryopreservation in girls and young women with cancer to determine whether we are offering this invasive procedu...
