Polycystic ovary syndrome represents 80% of anovulatory infertility cases. Treatment initially includes preconception guidelines, such as lifestyle changes (weight loss), folic acid therapy to prevent the risk of fetal neural tube defects and halting the consumption of tobacco and alcohol. The first-line pharmacological treatment for inducing ovulation consists of a clomiphene citrate treatment...

Objective: To determine the efficacy of ovarian drilling in PCO patients who failed to achieve pregnancy with medical treatment. Methods and Main Results: 75 patients with a diagnosis of PCO of whom 48(64%) were primary infertile and 27(36%) were secondary infertile were clomiphene resistant. The other methods like bromocriptin, gonadotropins, GnRH -a and metformin had been given to these ...

The treatment of infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) associates lifestyle measures, and the use of drugs to induce ovulation. In this endeavour, clomifene citrate (CC) should be used as the first line of treatment, followed eventually by low dose gonadotrophin stimulation, as a second line. In rare cases, in case of failure of the CC treatment, ovarian drilling i.e. laparoscopic ova...

currently, laparoscopic cystectomy is the first-line therapy for ovarian benign cysts that are resistant to current therapies. there are different studies that point to ovarian reserve damage due to laparoscopic cystectomy. in this study, we evaluate the ovarian damage following laparoscopic cystectomy for non-endometriosis cysts using ultrasound and pathology findings. this is a prospective co...

OBJECTIVES Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is a marker of the activity of recruitable ovarian follicles. It is useful in the prediction of ovarian reserve. Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have elevated circulating and intrafollicular AMH levels. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) in patients with PCOS destroys ovarian androgen-producing tissue and reduces their peripheral conversion...
