The objective of this study was to evaluate the histopathological characteristics of endometrial biopsies taken on the day of oocyte recovery in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles with a satisfactory response to ovulation induction. A group of 33 patients who went through ovulation induction for IVF, and in whom an endometrial polyp was suspected on transvaginal ultrasonography during the moni...

Many questions have been raised recently about the possible association between ovulation induction and ovarian cancer. In order to contribute to the limited literature on this important issue, two cases of ovarian cancer in women who had multiple ovulation induction are presented here.

BACKGROUND Ovarian epithelial dysplasia was first described after prophylactic oophorectomies for genetic risk. Ovarian stimulation has been considered as a risk factor of ovarian cancer by Fathalla's incessant ovulation theory. In this study, we have investigated the risk of ovarian dysplasia after ovulation induction. METHODS We reviewed 99 oophorectomies or cystectomies between 1990 and 20...

Spontaneous pregnancy in patients with Sheehan's syndrome is very rare, even after ovulation induction in such patients' pregnancy outcome is poor. We report a case of women with Sheehan's syndrome who became pregnant without ovulation induction with successful outcome of pregnancy.

Background: Sildenafil causes vasodilatation by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels. This enhances endometrial development, the health of which is indispensable for implantation and embryonic and fetal development. Aim: To assess the role of Sildenafil when used in ovulation induction cycles with Clomiphene Citrate (CC) with reference to Endometrial Thickness (ET), follicular developme...
