Polycystic ovary syndrome is an accumulation of endocrine changes that associates oligo-amenorrhea, obesity, hirsutism, androgen excess and resistance to insulin. Ovarian drilling can be done through classical laparoscopy and by transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy minimally invasive surgical method. We performed a meta-analysis of eight studies conducted between 2003-2011, which include a total of 35...

Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive within a certain period of time one to two years of frequent unprotected intercourse [1]. It is seldom a physically debilitating disease, but couple’s psychosocial harmony is severely affected. The important causes of infertility in female are tubal and peritoneal factors (25-35%), ovulatory factors (30-40%), endometriosis (1-10%) [2]....

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrine disorders which cause anovulatory infertility and hyperandrogenism in young women. the common feature in pcos women is increased ovarian androgen secretion which can effect on the prevalence of miscarriage rate. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pcos patient's serum on in vitro dev...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive endocrinopathy of women during their childbearing years. A significant degree of controversy exists regarding the etiology of this syndrome, but there is a growing consensus that the key features include insulin resistance, androgen excess, and abnormal gonadotropin dynamics. Familial and genetic factors cause predisposition to ...

PCOS was first recognized as a medical disease or syndrome in the West in 1845 in France. Its most distinctive sign is the pathologic appearance of sclerocystic changes on the larger than average ovaries, which appeared to have a thick, shiny, white coating overlying many rows of cysts on the surface of the ovary. These ovarian changes give PCOS its name. In 1990 a National Institute of Health ...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovaries (PCO) are described on ultrasound scan as the “presence of 12 or more follicles in each ovary measuring 2–9 mm in diameter, and/or increased ovarian volume (>10 ml)”1. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or disease (PCOD) is diagnosed when polycystic ovaries are associated with chronic anovulation and clinical and/or biochemical androgen excess (typically featured a...

Background. We previously found that expression of SET gene was up-regulated in polycystic ovaries by using microarray. It suggested that SET may be an attractive candidate regulator involved in the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this study, expression and cellular localization of SET protein were investigated in human polycystic and normal ovaries. Method. Ovarian tiss...
