Filter by:Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by elevated androgens such as testosterone. Clinical studies suggest that ketogenic diets lower the levels of androgens. The ketone 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) may play an important role in these effects and the main purpose of this study is to investigate whether a 3-OHB supplement acutely improves the hormonal and metabolic status in women with PCOS.
The investigators aim to conduct a double blind randomized clinical trial to study the independent and additive effects of micronutrients (Resveratrol, Acetyl-L Carnitine, L Arginine and COQ10 ) with Metformin in patients with PCOS .Women diagnosed with PCOS according to National Institute of Health( NIH) 2012 extension of European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology /American Society of Reproductive Medicine ESHRE /ASRM 2003 criteria will be included according to a specific phenotype including Hyperandrogenism, Ovulatory dysfunction and Polycystic Ovarian Morphology. The investigators propose that by using combination therapy with micro supplements like Resveratrol, Acetyl-L Carnitine, L Arginine and COQ10 will produce greater improvement better than or at least comparable to Metformin in metabolic and endocrine profile of patients with PCOS.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic syndrome which accounts for 75% of women with anovulatory infertility. The cause of infertility in PCOS is already unknown. Although efforts have been made, many PCOS patients turned out to have worse oocyte maturity and IVF outcomes. Time-lapse analysis of embryo development can detect the abnormal timeline and cleavage mode which may affect the embryo viability of PCOS. However, there are still some debates on the effect of PCOS on the early embryo development by time-lapse analysis.
Infertility, defined as the inability to become pregnant after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It is estimated that around 20 % of couples suffer from infertility with prevalence rates of infertility differing substantial among countries . Sexual function in females is very complex and is affected by many factors. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction is higher in infertile patients compared to the normal population . Whether sexual dysfunction is the cause or consequence of subfertility is difficult to establish. For instance, sexual dysfunction might result in decreased coital frequency compounding the issue of subfertility due to reduced exposure. On the other hand, the psychological pressure to get pregnant stemming from sex on demand could result in a reduction in enjoyment of sex aggravating sexual dysfunction. Indeed, situational sexual dysfunction and loss of a couple's intimacy may occur as a consequence of timed intercourse where focus for coitus is no longer pleasure but conception .
To analyze the effect of pretreatment with dydrogesterone vs combined estradiol valerate and dydrogesterone on embryologic parameters, chemical and clinical pregnancy rates of ICSI in women with PCOS.
According the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. In-vitro-fertilization (IVF) is considered to be a successful tool to overcome infertility. However, the current methods used to assess the ovarian reserve and to develop an optimal individualized controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol have shown some limitations. Growing evidence indicates that altered renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and/or melatonin are linked to infertility. Aims and Objectives: The current 2 years duration study aims first to investigate the demographic and clinical profiles of patients undergoing IVF in the UAE. In the second phase of the study, we hypothesis that an altered angiotensin-melatonin axis may be considered as an unfavorable prognosis factor in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. This hypothesis will be assessed using an observational, longitudinal, prospective clinical study to determine whether the urinary angiotensinogen and/or melatonin deficiency might be present in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. Thus, negatively impacting the clinical pregnancy rate. Methodology: various patient's data will be collected using a questionnaire and the levels of angiotensinogen and melatonin in patient's urine will be measured using ELISA test prior to, during and after the IVF treatment. To determine whether the angiotensinogen-melatonin axis disruption affects the IVF treatment outcome, we will analyze the following parameters: the AMH, Antral Follicular Count (AFC), day 2-4 FSH levels, the stimulation cycle in regards to number of stimulation days and amount of gonadotropins used for stimulation, number of oocytes retrieved and number of mature oocytes, quality and embryo's ploidy, number of available euploid embryos and the clinical pregnancy rate after frozen embryo transfer.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of two endometrial preparation protocols for the first frozen embryo transfer cycle in PCOS with whole embryo freezing. Subjects will be randomized to letrozole-stimulated group or hormone replacement treatment group in their first frozen embryo transfer cycle, and their pregnancy and perinatal outcomes during this cycle will be followed up and analysis.
This study evaluates the addition of clomiphene citrate (CC) to letrozole for the treatment of infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome across a course of two treatment cycles with stair step dosing of letrozole similar to standard of care. Half of the participants will receive letrozole and CC in combination, while the other half will receive letrozole alone.
This multicenter, institution-based, cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and PCOS phenotype in Eastern Siberia - the unique region of the Russian Federation with a multi-raced population living in similar geographic and socio-economic conditions for centuries. Therefore, the investigators considered this population optimal for epidemiological research.
As gingivitis is known to add to the systemic inflammatory burden and may consequently contribute to progression of PCOS and vice-versa, So, controlling local and systemic inflammatory burden by scaling g and medical treatment may have an effect in the management of PCOS women having gingivitis.There is no data as yet, comparing the impact of COCs along with scaling and COCs along with just oral hygiene instructions on the periodontal health of PCOS patients. Therefore, there is need to study the effect of combined oral contraceptives (ethinylestradiol/norethisterone acetate) along with scaling on periodontal status and high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in polycystic ovary syndrome women having gingivitis
