MaterialsAndMethods In this clinical trial each patient, regarding her previous resistance to Clomiphene, served as her own control. A total of 35 clomiphene citrate resistant PCOS patients, referring to Royan institute were studied. Clomiph...

INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive-age. Therapy for those who want to get pregnant involves ovulation induction using clomiphene citrate, metformin, letrozole and gonadotropins. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of combinations of clomiphene citrate-metformin and letrozole-metformin in obese patients who a...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is associated with approximately 75% of women who suffer from infertility due to anovulation. additionally, around 20– 25% of anovulatory women with pcos do not respond at all to clomiphene citrate and are considered to be “clomiphene– resistant”. aromatase inhibitors have been suggested as an alternative treatment to clomiphene as the discrepancy be...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of metformin and acarbose on insulin resistance, hormone profiles and ovulation rates in patients with clomiphene citrate-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS Thirty clomiphene citrate-resistant patients were selected randomly and divided into two groups. Group I was treated with 100 mg/day clomiphene citrate and 300 ...

Patients suffering from normogonadotrophic anovulation and infertility are initially treated with clomiphene citrate. Those who do not respond to clomiphene citrate usually receive gonadotrophin treatment which is labour-intensive, expensive, and associated with an increased risk of multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. We treated 22 patients with clomiphene resistant norm...

121 women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and clomiphene citrate resistance underwent laparoscopic ovarian cautery, 63 patients were type I or typical PCOS with ovarian volume >8mL and 58 patients were type II PCOS with ovarian volume O.05). It therefore appears that the result of laparoscopic ovarian cauterization does not depend on ovary size in clomphene citrate resistant patients with...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare two methods of treatment of infertility with gonadotropin with laparoscopic ovarian electrocauterization in patients with clomiphene citrate-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS A number of 104 nulipara patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, who were resistant to clomiphene citrate were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received ...
