Chronic endometritis is linked to recurrent pregnancy loss and in vitro fertilization failure. The responsiveness to antibiotics suggests a bacterial cause, however endometriosis could also play a role. This study aimed to compare treatment…

BACKGROUND: Functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea (FHA) is responsible for 20-35% of all cases of secondary amenorrhoea and, thus, is the second most common cause of secondary amenorrhoea after polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A high number …

PURPOSE: To present recent data on discordant tubal blockage (DTB), its influence on pregnancy rates and how women should gage their fertility when screening and diagnostic tests don't always agree. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study…

PURPOSE: Fibroids are the most common gynecological pathology in reproductive aged women and contribute to 2-3% of infertility cases. After hysteroscopic removal of submucosal FIGO 0 and I fibroids, pregnancy rates of 60% to 90% can be achi…

Background and Objectives: Fallopian tubal pathology is a primary risk factor for female infertility, with simple proximal disease and proximal disease extending more distally being more common than pure distal occlusion. Proximal tubal occ…

Systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) in pregnancy represent a complex challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. Timely preparation for pregnancy enables adequate disease control, thereby reducing the risk of disease fl…

Hysteroscopy has been recognized as a reliable method for the evaluation of female infertility for several years. The outpatient setting is particularly convenient, as patients do not require general anesthesia and do not have to stay overn…

Postoperative intraabdominal adhesions can occur after more than 90% of gynecologic surgeries. They not only cause chronic pelvic pain and small bowel obstruction, but are also one of the main reasons for infertility. Adhesions are not only…

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency is a common problem in subfertile women. The influence of iron status on unexplained infertility is unknown. METHODS: In a case-control study, 36 women with unexplained infertility and 36 healthy non-infertile c…

Endometriosis seems to have a strong negative effect on female fertility. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of tubal occlusion diagnosed via laparoscopic chromopertubation in infertile women with endometriosis and compare the res…

There are limited data on how non-infectious risk factors influence tubal patency in women with subfertility. With hormonal shifts influencing tubal secretions, it has been argued that subfertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) …

Objective: To assess potential association of CE diagnosed by a positive CD 138 in endometrial tissue with Fallopian tube patency and occlusion as well as with other factors for infertility including endometriosis, adenomyosis and hydrosalp…

PURPOSE: To determine whether an increase in cul de sac (CDS) fluid after hysteroscopy is predictive of tubal patency. METHODS: In a prospective clinical cohort study, 115 subfertile women undergoing laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery …

OBJECTIVE: To provide an evidence-based safety and tolerability overview of dydrogesterone under various progesterone-deficient conditions as a commemoration of its role in managing women's reproductive health over the past 60 years. METHO…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Chronic endometritis (CE), which often presents asymptomatically, is associated with recurrent pregnancy loss, recurrent implantation failure after in vitro fertilization, and endometriosis. Data connecting CE with fallopia…

Fragestellung: Ziel der Studie war es, die Prävalenz von Endometriose bei Patientinnen mit PCOS zu zeigen, welche keine klassischen Symptome aufweisen und ein LOD aufgrund einer Clomiphen-Resistenz erhielten.

This multicentre, randomised, controlled cross-over trial was designed to investigate the effect of intra-uterine slow-release insemination (SRI) on pregnancy rates in women with confirmed infertility or the need for semen donation who were…

PURPOSE: Recent studies reported that in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, other stimulation agents are superior to the popular first-line regimen, clomiphene citrate (CC) for ovarian stimulation. Nonetheless, CC is still widely us…

PURPOSE: To investigate a possible influence of repetitive micro-traumata on the ovaries in the course of oocyte retrieval during IVF/ICSI treatment on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. METHODS: The study included retrospectively …

To evaluate the incidence of endometriosis in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients who did not present with any endometriosis symptoms and underwent laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) for clomiphene citrate (CC) resistance, 225 and 63…

The relevance of diagnostic hysteroscopy, especially when performed in an outpatient "office" setting, in the evaluation process of infertility has increased within the last few years. Notably, several articles on a possible role for diagno…

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to compare ultrasound-guided local methotrexate (MTX) vs. systemic methotrexate in uterine ectopic pregnancy regarding the beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) clearance duration. MATERIAL AND MET…

PURPOSE: A modified application technique of intrauterine insemination (IUI) is slow release insemination (SRI), first described by Muharib et al. (Hum Reprod 7(2):227-229, 1992), who postulated higher pregnancy rates with a slow release of…

BACKGROUND: The influence of embryo loading time (ELT) and the time interval between embryo loading and embryo transfer (TIEL-ET) on the success of IVF/ICSI is unknown. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study, we aimed to ascertain the infl…

OBJECTIVE: Gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) decrease the expression of growth factors involved in the development of human endometriotic tissue. As endometriosis has been found to be associated with a mild increase in prolact…
