clomiphene critrate is an effective and safe treatment for anovulation, but in some cases resistance occurs. to evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone in resistant anovulatory normal dehydroepiandrosterone patients, we prospectively studied 57 infertile resistant anovulatory women. each woman received 100 mg daily clomiphene critrate from cycle days 3-7 and 0.5 mg dexamethasone from cycle days ...

Hyperprolactinemia is the most common cause of hypogonadotropic anovulation and is one of the leading causes of infertility in women aged 25-34. Hyperprolactinemia has been proposed to block ovulation through inhibition of GnRH release. Kisspeptin neurons, which express prolactin receptors, were recently identified as major regulators of GnRH neurons. To mimic the human pathology of anovulation...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic electrocautery has been put forward as the treatment of choice in women with clomiphene citrate (CC)-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In order to make an informed treatment decision it would be helpful if we could identify women with PCOS with a high probability of treatment failure following electrocautery of the ovaries. METHODS Eighty-three women with CC-...

Sunnmary Endocrine features of anovulation are reviewed, with particular emphasis on methods of investigation. The value of, and indications for, measurements of serum gonadotrophin concentrations are discussed: it appears that FSH measurements allow better discrimination than LH measurements in diagnosing patients with primary ovarian failure. The results of stimulation tests with the syntheti...

Context Among women with a single, recent pregnancy loss, daily preconception low-dose aspirin (LDA) increased the live birth rate with no effect on pregnancy loss. Ovulation is a potential mechanism underlying this effect. Objective We estimated the effect of LDA on the per-cycle risk of anovulation among eumenorrheic women. Design Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled ...

Background. The relationship between tubal cornual polyps and endometriosis and ovulatory disorders in infertile women is unclear. Our objective was to determine such an association from our database and review the literature. Methods. Twenty-two infertile women with tubal cornual polyps were assessed for coexistence of oligoovulation/anovulation and endometriosis with stratification for polyp ...
