Polycystic ovaries21
- p. 141) Polycystic ovaries: PCOS is a complicated disorder characterized by high androgen levels, irregular menstruation, and/or small cysts on one or both ovaries. (wikipedia.org)
- Her mother was also noted to have polycystic ovaries. (bmj.com)
- The basic problem is that although the polycystic ovaries contain many follicles with eggs, the follicles do not develop and mature properly so that they do not ovulate. (sharedjourney.com)
- Women without polycystic ovaries normally develop one mature follicle each month which ovulates (releases) one egg. (sharedjourney.com)
- Women with polycystic ovaries are often hyperandrogenic as well. (sharedjourney.com)
- The typical story seen in women with polycystic ovaries is irregular menstrual cycles, onset of hirsutism in the teens or early 20s, and gradually worsening excess hair growth. (sharedjourney.com)
- When they attempt to get pregnant, women with polycystic ovaries will usually have difficulty. (sharedjourney.com)
- About 75% of women with polycystic ovaries will ovulate with clomiphene, but only about 40% will get pregnant with it. (sharedjourney.com)
- The majority of women with polycystic ovaries that have not gotten pregnant with the above treatments will conceive with IVF. (sharedjourney.com)
- PCOS patients are at increased risk for various complications (e.g., insulin resistance and endometrial abnormalities) along with the typical clinical characteristics of polycystic ovaries, sparse ovulation, and abnormal hormone levels. (hindawi.com)
- Although the incidence may be up to 6% in young women who have polycystic ovaries which are very sensitive to hormonal stimulation. (muhc.ca)
- In fact, 36-82% of women with recurrent pregnancy loss are reported to have PCOS or anatomically polycystic ovaries 6 . (hormones.gr)
- In addition to fetal defects, these include anatomically polycystic ovaries, obesity, placental thrombosis, endometrial defects, and hormonal abnormalities such as excess androgen secretion or insulin resistance. (hormones.gr)
- Results demonstrated that women with normal fetal chromosomal karyotypes were more likely than women with abnormal fetal karyotypes to have a history of menstrual irregularity (47.1% vs. 8.3%), the presence of polycystic ovaries (41.2% vs. 8.3%), and elevated basal LH concentrations. (hormones.gr)
- Polycystic ovaries are a commonly recognized ultrasound abnormality among women with a history of recurrent miscarriages and infertility 5,11,12 . (hormones.gr)
- Therefore, the presence of anatomically polycystic ovaries has been postulated to contribute to miscarriage in PCOS, either through ovarian androgen hypersecretion or LH hypersecretion. (hormones.gr)
- One study of 500 patients with a history of recurrent miscarriages reported a 56% prevalence rate of polycystic ovaries in this population 11 . (hormones.gr)
- A larger cohort study of 2,199 women by the same group of investigators 13 revealed a 40.7% (895/2199) prevalence rate of anatomically polycystic ovaries among women with recurrent miscarriages. (hormones.gr)
- However, no difference in subsequent live birth rates between women with anatomically polycystic ovaries and with normal ovarian morphology was noted, as well as no association of miscarriage with elevated serum LH or testosterone concentrations. (hormones.gr)
- Similarly, another study 14 found a high rate of polycystic ovaries in a population of women with a history of recurrent miscarriages (36%) but 82% of these women proceeded to have subsequent live births, similar to the live birth rate of 81% encountered in women with normal ovaries. (hormones.gr)
- The conclusion that can be drawn from these studies is that women with polycystic ovaries are overrepresented among women with early miscarriage, implying increased risk, but that among women with an established history of recurrent spontaneous abortion, the presence of polycystic ovaries does not influence the subsequent live birth rate. (hormones.gr)
