Ovarian reserve and reproductive age may be determined from measurement of ovarian volume by transvaginal sonography.
BACKGROUND The human ovary contains a fixed number of primordial follicles that decreases bi-exponentially with age, culminating in the menopause at an average age of 50-51 years. There currently is no reliable test of ovarian reserve for individual women that will accurately predict their remaining reproductive lifespan. METHODS AND RESULTS We use the Faddy-Gosden model of human primordial f...
متن کاملOvarian Reserve and Reproductive Age
Ovarian reserve is an estimate of the primordial follicle pool in the ovaries and is indicative of the reproductive age of a woman. This estimate helps in assessing a woman’s reproductive potential, in predicting her possible response in assisted conception, and in screening women for “early ovarian ageing” as a possible cause for subfertility. Over the years, several methods have been used for...
متن کاملParametric mapping of contrasted ovarian transvaginal sonography.
The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of parametric analysis of transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasound (TV-CEUS) for distinguishing benign versus malignant ovarian masses. A total of 48 ovarian masses (37 benign and 11 borderline/malignant) were examined with TV-CEUS (Definity; Lantheus, North Billerica, MA; Philips iU22; Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA). Parametric image...
متن کاملFemale Reproductive Decline Is Determined by Remaining Ovarian Reserve and Age
The early decline and loss of female fertility in humans and other species represents an evolutionary paradox. Despite being born with a vast stock of oocytes, females encounter an exhaustion of ovarian reserve and sterility half way through their natural lives. Female reproductive ageing has been proposed to proceed as an ongoing decline in ovarian reserve, determined by remaining ovarian foll...
متن کاملOvarian Reserve Assessment in Celiac Patients of Reproductive Age
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate ovarian reserve in patients of reproductive age with Celiac disease (CD) using anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, antral follicle counts (AFCs), and ovarian volume. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included into this study 46 CD female patients and 40 healthy female subjects of reproductive age, ages 18-45 years. Venous blood samples were taken from both grou...
