PROBLEM: To measure and compare concentrations of total and free glucocorticoids with oocyte fertilizing capacity in the follicular fluid (FF) of women with minimal-mild endometriosis and tubal damage. METHOD OF STUDY: Follicular fluid was …
Significant association between endometriosis, including minor endometriosis, and infertility (or strictly subfertility) is shown by prevalence studies, but a causal relationship has not been established. This review focuses on evidence for…
This article has provided outcome-based evidence using easily understood graphic representation of cumulative pregnancy rates whenever possible for the methods used to investigate and treat female infertility. A scheme of basic routine inve…
ObjectiveTo determine the diurnal variation in the onset of the preovulatory LH surge in women.DesignProspective open cohort study.SettingUniversity hospital research program.Patient(s)Thirty-five women with infertility resulting from tubal…
This study aims to determine the relative contribution of oocyte and/or sperm dysfunction to the reduction of fertilization rates in vitro in cases of minor endometriosis and prolonged unexplained infertility. The results of in-vitro fertil…
PurposeThe impact of endometriosis and unexplained infertility on follicular function and fertilization of oocytes in cycles totally unperturbed by exogenous gonadotrophins, when compared with controls with tubal damage, were examined.Metho…
Evidence of pituitary-ovarian dysfunction in unexplained and endometriosis-associated infertility has been reported previously. Hormone-suppressive therapy is often used in an attempt to improve fertility, although benefits have not been pr…
To examine the cause of altered follicular fluid steroid levels and lower in vitro fertilization rate observed in infertile women with minor endometriosis, we have compared the production of estradiol (aromatase activity) and progesterone o…
This study examines circulating and follicular hormone concentrations and fertilization of oocytes in cycles totally unperturbed by exogenous gonadotrophins in 10 women (25 cycles) with untreated minimal-mild endometriosis and nine women (2…
Choice of infertility treatments usually depends on a balance of the chances of conceiving with or without treatment, and with more or less complex and costly treatments, and on other factors such as duration of infertility and the woman's …
OBJECTIVE: Analyse outcome of FSH therapy alone after pituitary desensitization for assisted conception to compare with published results of conventional hMG. DESIGN: Descriptive study of complete series of patients undergoing IVF-ET or GI…
Recent comparative studies and developments in our understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis have led to increasing doubts about whether it should always be considered a disease. Widespread use of laparoscopy fo…
ObjectiveTo provide reliable prognostic information for couples seeking assisted conception.DesignAnalysis of four years' practice (1988-91).SettingPrivate university service linked with NHS reproductive medicine services.Patients804 couple…
One-hundred-and-seventy-four patients having hysterosalpingographs during the investigation of infertility have been reviewed to assess the incidence of tubo-cornual polyps and their relation to subsequent pregnancy. Definite polyps were pr…
In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) was carried out once for each of 104 couples who had a single cause of infertility. The group with tubal damage was used as the reference for normal fertilising capacity of both oocytes and sperms: the IVF rates…
Specialist infertility practice was studied in a group of 708 couples within a population of residents of a single health district in England. They represented an annual incidence of 1.2 couples for every 1000 of the population. At least on…
A simplified scheme for the management of anovulatory and of ovulatory (usually called unexplained) infertility was evaluated in 244 women. Eighteen patients were excluded because of primary ovarian failure, 164 were treated for ovulatory f…
