PCOS, features and diagnosis Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrinological disorder among women of fertile age. The history of PCOS dates back to 1721. Sclerocystic changes were pointed out in the human ovary as early as 1844. However, the disorder was first described in 1935 by Stien & Leventhal in women who presented with amenorrhea, infertility and bilateral enla...

Aim: The aim of this study is to understand the pattern dyslipidemia, lipid radicals and antioxidant activities in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome reproductive-aged Nigerian women. Methodology: Original randomized case-control studies assessing comparative patterns panels PCOS Nigeria published between 1st January 2019 31st December 2020 were identified by searching online databases, inc...

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the commonest cause of secondary infertility. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling has widely been used for induction of ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients resistant to clomiphene citrate. 80% patients ovulated after treatment and 60% patient conceived either spontaneously or after treatment with medication to which they are previously r...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common female endocrine disorder, affecting approximately 5%-10% of all females and 4-6% of adolescent girls and young women. PCOS is a hormonal disorder that involves multiple organ systems within the body and is believed to be fundamentally caused by insensitivity to insulin.1 It can be diagnosed in all phases of life in girls as young as 8-9 yea...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a controversial endocrine pathology and, recently, it has been suggested that the condition is hereditary. The aim of this study was to prospectively determine in daughters of patients with PCOS, by ultrasonographic (US) and colour Doppler analyses, the incidence of polycystic ovaries and search any correlation with specific hormonal parameters. ...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is sometimes called Stein-Leventhal Syndrome after the two doctors who first described it in 1935. 1 It is the most common ovarian disorder with typical features of obesity, anovulation, hyperandrogenism, hirsutism and infertility. The accepted nomenclature for the syndrome is PCOS, despite the fact that polycystic ovaries are non-specific findings and can occ...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by hyperandrogenaemia, hirsutism, oligo-or amenorrhea, and anovulation. A common feature of PCOS is the accumulation of small subcortical follicles and increased ovarian stromal volume, causing a characteristic ultrasound image and a basis for the most commonly used designation for the syndrome. In order to th...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a very common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Nerve growth factor (NGF) may be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS. In this study, we investigated the effect of Korean red ginseng extract (KRGE) on the ovarian morphology and NGF expression in an estradiol valerate (EV)-induced rat model. Polycystic ovaries were induced by a single intramus...

BACKGROUND The anti-Műllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted in women exclusively by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles. The serum level of AMH is a precise marker of follicle pool size. In recent clinical studies of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the serum levels of AMH were elevated about two to threefold. The use of metformin in women with infertility and PCOS has proved to be effici...
