vascularization of the follicle may play a role in its maturation and aspirin seems to increase this vascularization.in this investigation we have studied the effects of low-dose aspirin on ovarian and uterine response, implantation and pregnancy rates in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). this prospective semirandomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was unde...

Introduction: Ovarian hyper-stimulation is widely used in IVF clinics. The main purpose of this method is to stimulate folliculogenesis and increase the number of oocytes in one cycle. Following ovarian hyper-stimulation, hormonal secretion of the ovary, particularly estradiol and progesterone dramatically increases. Immune cells especially dendritic cells have receptors for the estradiol...

Mucinous cystadenomas may reach a large size and may also tend to be hormonally responsive during pregnancy. A 25-year-old woman was presented with the labour pain at 40 weeks of gestation. Sonographic examination demonstrated a multiloculated, 38 cm in diameter, huge cystic mass at the right side of the uterus. After delivery of baby with cesarean section, ovarian cystectomy was performed. His...

objective: recently the laparoscopic ovarian drilling (lod) has been used as a surgical treatment for ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos), although its mechanism and outcomes are still unclear. this study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro fertilization (ivf)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) outcomes in clomiphene-resistant women with pcos who were treated wit...

long protocol of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-analougue (gnrh-a) can result in the formation of ovarian cyst by the transient initial stimulatory effect which increases the levels of both follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh). these cysts require surgical drainage or result in poor ovarian response. ovarian cyst formation can be prevented by taking oral contraceptive...

BACKGROUND Primary ovarian pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy having incidence of 1/7000-1/40,000 in live births and 0.5-3% of all ectopic gestations. Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD), salpingitis, infertility, and assisted reproductive techniques are the important risk factors. Approximately, 75% terminate in first trimester and are often misdiagnosed as corpus l...

UNLABELLED Teratoma is the most common ovarian tumour associated with pregnancy. The complications in pregnancy include torsion, rupture and malignant transformation mimicking ovarian carcinoma. Its association with intestinal obstruction is uncommon. CASE A 35 year old gravida 5 para 4 woman with 18 week gestation was referred to our hospital with a 2 week history of abdominal pain, abdomina...

BACKGROUND Epithelial ovarian cancer is associated with reproductive factors, but we lack knowledge if hormonal factors during pregnancy influence the mother's risk. Because pregnancy hormones are primarily produced by the placenta, placental weight may be an indirect marker of hormone exposure during pregnancy. METHODS In a nationwide Swedish cohort study, we included women with singleton bi...

Tubo-ovarian abscess in pregnancy is extremely rare. In this report, we present a patient who had asymptomatic tubo-ovarian abscess during pregnancy. It was diagnosed incidentally immediately after vaginal delivery. Emergency laparotomy was followed and surgical findings included a 4 cm-sized, right, ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess with massive purulent contamination of the whole pelvic cavity. R...
