Adenomyosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease, characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium. It often results in dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and infertility, significantly impacting patients' qualit…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Vaginal Microecology Evaluation System (VMES) in assessing the dynamics of the vaginal microbiome (VM) throughout the process of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF…

BACKGROUND: Phthalates are ubiquitously used in a variety of products and have an adverse effect on folliculogenesis. However, previous epidemiological studies on the associations between phthalate exposure and antral follicle count (AFC) p…

INTRODUCTION: To investigate whether rescue in vitro maturation (R-IVM) improves the reproductive outcomes among women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after one oocyte retrieved cycle. METHODS: Between January 2019 and D…

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between caffeine and alcohol consumption and in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The protocol wa…

BACKGROUND: Phthalates, a class of endocrine disruptors, have been demonstrated to accelerate loss of ovarian follicle pool via disrupting folliculogenesis, and lead to diminished ovarian reserve. However, human data are limited. Here, we a…

In contrast to the impact of elevated progesterone on endometrial receptivity, the data on whether increased progesterone levels affects the quality of embryos is still limited. This study retrospectively enrolled 4,236 fresh in vitro ferti…

This study measured the antioxidant activity of follicular fluid (FF) in infertile patients and assessed its possible correlation between ovarian stimulation and pregnancy outcomes. Samples from 191 infertile patients undergoing in vitro fe…

The study was to investigate the effects of oxygen concentration at different levels for culturing pre-compaction embryos on human embryo development competence. A total of 1254 oocytes from 92 patients treated with conventional in vitro fe…

Despite the fact that both gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and antagonist protocol are effective in suppressing the incidence of premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges through reversibly blocking the secretion of pituitary …
