PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the changes in the uterine biophysical profile (UBP) before and after intrauterine administration of Autologous Blood Cell Derivatives (ABCD). METHODS: This prospective observational study i…

Congenital anomalies (CAs) are a leading cause of perinatal and child mortality. With the increasing use of assisted reproductive technology (ART), there is a growing need for research on the health outcomes of children conceived through AR…

Abstract Background Endometriosis, particularly endometriotic cysts (endometriomas), is commonly related to infertility in women. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a widely used treatment for these patients; however, its outcomes can be inf…

Abstract Background Endometrioma, a common manifestation of endometriosis, can impact fertility and are often encountered in women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Traditionally, surgical removal of endometriomas has bee…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of intrauterine infusion of autologous blood cell derivative (ABCD) on endometrial thickness and pregnancy outcomes in a group of patients who underwent IVF with recurrent impl…

This study investigated whether combining metabolomic and embryologic data with machine learning (ML) models improve the prediction of embryo implantation potential. In this prospective cohort study, infertile couples (n=56) undergoing day-…

CONTEXT: Thin endometrium during the frozen embryo transfer cycles leads to cycle cancellation. The embryo transfer cycle getting deferred is an unpleasant experience for the patients and the fertility specialist. AIMS: The purpose of this…

ABSTRACT Background Endometriosis is one of the most commonly encountered benign problems in gynecology. Ultrasound and endocrine parameters have been widely accepted as markers of ovarian reserve. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in conjugatio…

Lipomatous tumors of the uterus are rare neoplasms which can be divided into three broad groups - pure, mixed, and the exceedingly rare malignant liposarcoma. Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign variant of leiomyoma with an incidence ranging bet…

Pituitary stimulation with pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs induces both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Pituitary gonadotropin secretions are blocked upon desensitization when a conti…

AIM: To find out effect of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) levels on Day 1 (Day 2 of cycle) and Day 5 of stimulation and Day of trigger hCG in controlled ovulation stimulation with antagonist protocol of IVF-ICSI cycle on cycle outcome. MAT…

BACKGROUND: The damage to ovarian reserve inflicted by surgery for endometriosis represents a major concern in the balance between reproductive benefits and risks. AIM: To evaluate the ovarian reserve in sub fertile women after laparoscopi…

Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by inflammatory changes in the pelvic cavity and symptoms of pain, infertility, and menstrual irregularities. Several theories have been proposed since Samson's theory of retrograde me…

Endometriosis is a disease that affects a significant portion of reproductive age women. It can cause chronic pelvic pain and has been associated with subfertility. Treatment options differ depending on a patient's reproductive goals; women…
