Filter by:The Offspring Born to Mothers with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Guangzhou Cohort study (PCOS-BIG) was established to investigate the short- and long-term effects of intrauterine exposure to maternal PCOS on the health of offspring in Guangzhou, China. Data are collected regarding maternal PCOS subtypes, nursing, diet and education as well as health outcomes in their later life. Biological samples including blood and tissue samples are also collected from participants.
The Investigators will measure hepatic glucose and fat metabolism in obese girls with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hepatic steatosis (HS) after taking 4 weeks of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement or placebo and test whether the EAA supplement can improve hepatic glucose metabolism in these girls.
This study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Bushen Culuan Decoction in the treatment of anovulatory infertility, including anovulatory abnormal uterine bleeding, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, corpus luteum insufficiency and ovarian insufficiency, through a randomised, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel positive controlled, adaptive multicenter clinical trial.
Design and protocol of PCO fasting research: This study is a pilot prospective, single-blinded (to the health assessor), randomized controlled trial conducted at the In Vitro Fertilization ( IVF) center of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Kasr El-Ainy Hospital, Cairo University, Egypt, from October 2018 to September 2019, to determine the clinical effect of fasting on ICSI outcomes in PCOS patients. Ethical committee approval was obtained. The study will include 100 infertile patients with PCOS diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria of PCOS and who are candidates for ICSI cycle. Women with diabetes, thyroid disorder or other endocrine dysfunctions, uterine abnormalities were excluded. All patients are informed about the study and consent is given by those who accept to participate. Careful history taking include infertility type, duration , cause, obstetric history, medical and surgical history and demographic distribution is taken. Full physical examination and 2 dimensional (2D) transvaginal sonography (TVS) are done on day 2 to 5 of menses to assess antral follicle count, uterus and adnexa . Body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR) are calculated, Blood samples are taken for Fasting insulin , fasting plasma glucose, Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA index), lipid profile and hormonal profile are done. All 100 participants will be randomized withdrawing closed envelopes for each patient into group A and group B . Group (A): patients will have periodic fasting for 4 weeks prior to the treatment cycle. The fasting method involves daily fasts of 14-16hours and restrict eating to an 8-10 hour "eating window" as 2-3 or more meals of balanced diet. Group (B): no fasting, patients will have usual balanced diet as 3 meals and 2 snacks all over the day. Both groups should take adequate water and non calorie beverages intake daily (2-3 liters) Subjects are instructed to wait for spontaneous menses, or to be prescribed progestins orally (as Norethisterone 5mg) twice daily for 21 days starting from the fifth day of menses. Patients should continue taking oral metformin 500-1000 mg daily, until confirmation of pregnancy. The next visit is scheduled on day 2 of next cycle when transvaginal ultrasound is done to confirm that endometrial thickness <5mm, no ovarian cyst by ultrasound. Body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR) are calculated. Blood samples are taken for Fasting insulin , fasting plasma glucose, Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, lipid profile ( Triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol, High density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low density Lipoprotein (LDL), free and total testosterone , Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Free Androgen index (FAI), AntiMullerian Hormone (AMH), Basal Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Estradiol (E2),and then antagonist protocol is followed. Gonadotropins as Intramuscular (I.M.) injections of 150-300 (International units) I.U. of highly purified Human Menopausal Gonadotropins daily (Merional, 75 I.U. /vial, IBSA). and Urofollitropin or highly purified human follicle stimulating hormone(Fostimon®, 75 I.U. /vial, IBSA) are give in a ratio of 1:1.The dose is adjusted according to the age, BMI, Antral follicle count (AFC), serum levels of AMH, FSH and ovarian response. Fixed antagonist protocol is given and follow up until embryo transfer(ET). Quantitative ß- HCG in serum after is done after 14 days of embryo transfer.TVS is performed to detect clinical pregnancy at 6-7 weeks of gestation. Primary outcome is clinical pregnancy rate per cycle. Secondary outcomes include Body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR), fasting insulin , fasting plasma glucose, Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, lipid profile and other ICSI outcomes.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal and metabolic disorder that has been shown to affect women's fertility. It can also share many symptoms with pre-diabetes, and women with PCOS often have an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, heart attack and stroke. This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of exercise intervention and increased lifestyle physical activity to improve cardiovascular disease risk factors in women with PCOS.
The proposed single arm 6 mo. trial will assess the impact of weight loss and fat loss due to a multicomponent remotely-delivered lifestyle intervention on ovulation rates and time-to-ovulation in overweight and obese women with anovulatory infertility caused by PCOS.
This study evaluate the addition of Vit E to clomiphene citrate in the treatment of poly cystic ovary.Half the patients will receive both Vit E and clomiphene citrate the other half will receive clomiphene citrate only.
PCOS patients were treated every day, with one sachet containing 2000 mg myo-inositol, 500 mg L-tyrosine, 40 mcg chromium picolinate, 55 mcg selenium, 200 mcg folic acid. All patients underwent, before starting the therapy, after 3 months and 6 months, hormonal evaluation , hirsutism scoring and ovulation assesment. Most of them during the treatment improved their symptoms.
The aim of this work is to compare the clinical outcomes of letrozole with laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) in patients with clomiphene-citrate-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in reproductive age women, which causes disordered follicle growth and ovulation resulting in infertility. In addition women with PCOS have hyperandrogenemia and a dysregulated hormonal profile, resulting in altered feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Obesity, insulin resistance, vitamin D (VD) deficiency and ageing worsen the symptoms. The gonadotrophins - follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) & luteinising hormone (LH), along with the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) have structural similarities. The altered levels of FSH and LH in women with PCOS cause production of hCG from the brain leading to false positive pregnancy tests. Part one of this project will involve the investigation of this over-production of hCG in urine and serum of women with PCOS to develop suitable ovulation and pregnancy test kits, in collaboration with Swiss Precision Diagnostics (SPD). In Part two of the project, we would like to see if intervention with VD supplementation and/or using myo-inositol supplement compared with metformin (insulin sensitiser), improves prediabetes, distribution of fat/water content, weight loss and menstrual cyclicity in women with PCOS. We aim to correlate these interventions with particular serum & urine markers to develop better diagnostic tools.
