In PCOS, hormonal imbalances disrupt the lh/fsh ratio, resulting in elevated lh levels compared to fsh. This hormonal imbalance affects ovarian function, leading to irregular cycles and anovulation. The increased lh stimulates androgen production by the ovaries, contributing to symptoms such as hirsutism and acne. The imbalance also affects follicle development, resulting in the formation…
Women with PCOS face increased miscarriage rates, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy. The risk varies by week of gestation, with the highest rates occurring in the first few weeks. The underlying hormonal imbalances and metabolic disturbances associated with PCOS may contribute to an adverse uterine environment, impacting embryo implantation and development. Close monitoring…
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder that affects ovulation and can lead to infertility. IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a fertility treatment that involves directly placing sperm into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. PCOS patients may benefit from IUI due to its ability to overcome ovulation issues and improve pregnancy rates….
Hyperprolactinemia, a condition characterized by elevated prolactin levels, is linked to PCOS. This hormonal imbalance can disrupt ovulation and menstruation due to abnormal FSH and LH secretion. Consequently, women with PCOS may experience irregular or absent periods and difficulty conceiving. Treatment options for hyperprolactinemia aim to normalize prolactin levels, potentially improving fertility and menstrual regularity….
During ovulation, hormonal fluctuations, physiological changes, psychological influences, and behavioral manifestations can contribute to increased libido.
