OBJECTIVE: Hydroxyethyl piperazine ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES)-buffered media have long been employed in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures; however, concerns persist regarding the impact of zwitterionic buffers on intrinsic…
BACKGROUND: Patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) typically have fewer retrieved oocytes and lower pregnancy rates than normal responders. Therefore, maximizing oocyte yield is particularly important to improve their reproductive o…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women. This study investigates the impact of 8-week supplementation with two probiotic strains, Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum, on hormonal statu…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women, associated with insulin resistance, ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and inflammation. Current treatments often focus on symptoms rather than un…
Background: Endometriosis, a common cause of infertility, adversely impacts both the quality and quantity of oocytes and embryos, with increasing severity negatively influencing assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. This study ai…
BACKGROUND: The quality of the luteal phase is the most important issue affecting pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Luteal-phase support with the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or…
INTRODUCTION: A variety of therapeutic modalities are available in management of ovarian endometrioma. This study aimed to compare the effects of ethanol sclerotherapy and laparoscopic surgery on disease recurrence and ovarian factors of th…
BACKGROUND: We set out to explore the effect of intrauterine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) instillation by intrauterine insemination (IUI) catheter before embryo transfer (ET) on assisted reproductive technologies (ART) outcomes of inf…
Background Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor which can decrease estrogen production in peripheral tissues and endometriosis. Danazol, as an androgen, inhibits estrogen production in ovaries and recently has been introduced as an aromatase…
