PURPOSE: In women with unilateral endometriosis, how do ovarian endometriomas and their inflammatory content affect oocyte and embryo quality in affected versus healthy ovaries, and what is the impact on ART outcomes? METHODS: This study, …
BACKGROUND: The success rate of in vitro maturation (IVM) for human oocytes is clinically significant, prompting a focus on optimizing IVM media culture. While various factors have been incorporated to improve outcomes, the role of Ghrelin …
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa) are a type of dysmorphism in oocytes derived from controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). The effect of SERa on assisted reproductive techniques (ART) outcomes is debatable. Based on some evidenc…
BACKGROUND: Despite many advances, patients with a poor ovarian response to stimulation are one of the most important and challenging factors of infertility. Chronological and ovarian ages are two effective factors responsible for poor resp…
PURPOSE: The authors compared assisted reproductive technique (ART) outcomes and the recurrence rate of endometrioma in the infertile patients undergoing sclerotherapy vs laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. METHODS: In this prospective cross-…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does injecting vasopressin into the mesovarium during endometrioma cystectomy further preserve postoperative ovarian reserve by reducing intraoperative bleeding and electrocoagulation points? DESIGN: Randomized controlle…
BACKGROUND: Thyroid dysfunction can affect fertility and miscarriage risk by affecting the process of follicular growth, embryo development, implantation, and placental formation. It has been suggested that thyroid disorders are associated …
BACKGROUND: The current treatment regimen for ovarian stimulation in Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) patients is daily injections of Gonadotropins. Recombinant DNA technologies have produced a new recombinant molecule that is a long…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is seen in 0.5%-5% of fertile and 25%-40% of infertile women. To investigate this conflict between gynecologists that ovarian endometriomas should be removed or not before making any decision about pregnancy among …
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is an alternative method to induce ovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with clomiphene citrate (CC) resistant instead of gonadotropins. This study aimed to compare the effic…
Endometriosis is defined as a condition in which tissue histologically similar to the endometrium is found outside the uterine cavity. It develops mostly in women of reproductive age. Endometriosis shows a drastically elevated frequency in …
