BACKGROUND: The recognized role of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as a marker for women's biological age and ovarian reserve prompts debate on its efficacy in predicting oocyte quality during IVF/ICSI. Recent findings challenging this view co…

BACKGROUND: Genetic factors are significantly have important role in the etiology of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study examined the possible relation of rs1484215 and rs6495096 polymorphisms of CYP11A1 gene in Iranian women w…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to assess whether the coadministration of 150 IU of recombinant LH instead of 75 IU in women aged 35-39 improves the results in agonist ICSI cycles stimulated with 300 IU of recombinant FSH. METHODS…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to determine the cut-off values for peripheral and uterine natural killer (pNK, uNK) cells in fertile controls and in women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). METHODS: In this study, 50 wome…

BACKGROUND: Among several causes of infertility, urogenital infections seem to be influencing factors. The effect of bacterial or viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on human fertility is not well understood. The aim of this study …

BACKGROUND: One of the few remaining important issues in urological and gynaecological surgery relates to fistulas between the urinary tract and the vagina. Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) and ureterovaginal fistulas (UVF) are defined as abnorm…

BACKGROUND: There is an association between inflammatory factors and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and most of women with PCOS experience the symptoms of hirsutism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of obesity in PCOS oc…

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRS) play an important role in embryo implantation. The aim of the present study was to examine the association of VEGFR1 circulating level and gene polymorphism with in vitro fer…

BACKGROUND: Follitropin alfa (FA) is one of the most widely used exogenous gonadotropins in both agonist and antagonist protocols for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, reports of its effectivene…

BACKGROUND: The relationship between uterine peristalsis before embryo transfer and the success of assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) has not been properly investigated. In this study, the effect of uterine contractions on embryo impla…

BACKGROUND: Since endometriosis causes a decrease in oocyte quality, the success rate of in vitro fertilization cycles decreases. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of endometriosis on intracellular calcium levels, C…

Endometrial cancer (EC) ranks as the second most common gynaecological cancer worldwide. EC patients are diagnosed at an early clinical stage and generally have a good prognosis. Therefore, there is a dire need for development of a specific…

BACKGROUND: Mature teratoma is a benign neoplasm, mostly composed of well-differentiated derivations of almost two or three germ cell layers, while immature teratoma is a malignant neoplasm composed of immature neural and embryonic tissue. …

BACKGROUND: Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is a marker for predicting ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation. It plays an important role in ovarian primordial follicle recruitment and dominant follicle selection. Therefore, the present …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic progressive gynecological disease that affects around 10% of women of reproductive age. A recent study shows that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has the potential as a cli…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the possible effect of follicular fluid paraoxonase 3 (PON 3) on oocyte quality and sex hormones. METHODS: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on totally 90 enrolled …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of co-administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) trigger (dual trigger) in high responders for fresh a…

BACKGROUND: Myoma is the most common benign monoclonal neoplasm of the uterus with increased frequency during reproductive years of women. CASE PRESENTATION: A twenty two year old female presented with abdomen lump, dysmenorrhoea, and heav…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common devastating gynecological disease with severe complications. Researches on noninvasive diagnostic tests with acceptable accuracy are still ongoing. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the d…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of tamoxifen and clomiphene citrate in induction of ovulation in women with PCOS and anovulation. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, 104 women with PCOS and primary …

BACKGROUND: Inflammation and its master regulator, Nuclear Factor-kB (NF-kB), have been implicated in the development of endometriosis. Inhibition of NF-kB pathway using small molecules ameliorated disease progression and reduced the lesion…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was evaluating the relationship between fatty acid (FA) intakes and the Assisted Reproductive Technique (ART) outcomes in infertile women. METHODS: In this descriptive longitudinal study, a validated f…

BackgroundThe newly emerging COVID-19 has caused severe anxiety around the world and it is infecting more people each day since there is no preventive measure or definite therapy for the diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate its eff…

BACKGROUND: Fibroma or leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system, which is usually found in the uterus, but may also occur in other places, such as the ovary, the broad ligament, and in rare cases in the ab…
