Adnexal masses in pregnancy are a diagnostic and management challenge that is increasingly being faced by obstetricians. The incidence of ovarian masses occurring during pregnancy is about 1 in 400-in 1,312 live births. Adnexal masses requiring surgical intervention in pregnancy have been reported to be around 1% to 2.3% of all gestations [1,2]. Only 0.04-0.05% of pregnant women are found to ha...

Purpose: to evaluate the effect of previous ovarian surgery for endometriosis on the ovarian response in assisted reproduction treatment cycles and its pregnancy outcome. Methods: a total of 61 women, with primary infertility and previous ovarian surgery for endometriosis, submitted to 74 in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic spermatozoid injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles, were studied (study group...

BACKGROUND There has been much debate about the effect of 'residual' LH levels in normogonadotrophic women undergoing assisted reproduction with GnRH agonist down-regulation and recombinant FSH ovarian stimulation. The aim of this prospective study, where receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used, was to assess further the usefulness of serum LH levels as predictors of ovarian r...

Background:Diagnosis of ovarian mass during pregnancy may be postponed because they may mimic physiological signs of pregnancy. Ovarian masses can lead to complications such as overgrowth, torsion or cyst rupture. Therefore, to inform health providers concerning symptoms, safe diagnostic methods and proper management seem appropriate. Case report: A 19-year-old primigravida was presented to our...

Women with diminished ovarian reserve often respond poorly to controlled ovarian stimulation resulting in retrieval of fewer oocytes and reduced pregnancy rates. It has been proposed that pre-IVF Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) adjuvant therapy may improve ovarian response and pregnancy rates in women with diminished ovarian reserve. This meta-analysis aims to investigate efficacy of DHEA as an a...
