Update in polycystic ovary syndrome: new criteria of diagnosis and treatment in Japan
نویسنده
چکیده
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. In 2006 the Japanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG) proposed new, revised diagnostic criteria that in the future could also be valued internationally. Based on the new diagnostic criteria, the JSOG has also proposed the revised treatment criteria in 2008. In PCOS obese patients desiring children, weight loss and exercise is recommended. Nonobese patients, or those obese women who do not ovulate after lifestyle changes, are submitted to ovulation-induction therapy with clomiphene citrate (CC). Obese CC-resistant patients who have impaired glucose tolerance or insulin resistance are treated with a combination of metformin and CC. If these treatments options are unsuccessful, ovulation induction with exogenous gonadotropin therapy or laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is recommended. A low-dose step-up regimen is recommended with careful monitoring in order to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and multiple pregnancies. Alternatively, with LOD high successful pregnancy rates of around 60 % are expected with a low risk of multiple pregnancies. If ovulation induction is unsuccessful, IVF-ET treatment is indicated. In high OHSS-risk patients, systematic embryo freezing and subsequent frozen embryo transfer cycles are recommended. In nonobese, anovulatory PCOS patients not desiring children, pharmacological treatments such as Holmström, Kaufmann regimens or low-dose oral anticonceptives are used to induce regular withdrawal bleeding. These treatments are especially important for preventing endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer. These new diagnostic and treatment criteria hopefully will contribute to an improved care of PCOS patients in Japan.
