A group of oligomenorrhoeic women without obesity or hirsuties was investigated with high-resolution ultrasound, laparoscopy and biochemical parameters. In this series, polycystic ovaries (PCO), as defined by ultrasound and laparoscopy, are a common cause of oligomenorrhoea in women without the
Obesity, oligomenorrhea, and hirsutism are frequently associated with high plasma androgen levels and/or low testosterone-binding globulin (TEBG) levels. Studied have been undertaken to determine the extent to which each of these clinical features may be related to this hormonal profile. Indexes of
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized that oligomenorrhea (menstrual cyclicity ≥42 days), hyperandrogenism, low levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), childhood insulin, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) at age 14 years would predict MetS and class III obesity (body mass index ≥40 kg/m(2)) at age 24
Hyperinsulinaemic insulin resistance is commonly associated with hyperandrogenaemia, and menstrual dysfunction. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the insulin sensitizing drug, metformin, on ovarian function, follicular growth, and ovulation rate in obese women with oligomenorrhoea.
BACKGROUND
There is a very high prevalence of obese women in the infertile population and many studies have highlighted the link between obesity and infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of oligomenorrhea in uncomplicated obesity, and to examine whether this menstrual
Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and oligomenorrhea or irregular menstruation in Chinese women of childbearing
We hypothesized that adolescent oligomenorrhea (ages 14-19) would independently predict impaired fasting glucose (IFG; ≥110 to <126 mg/dL) plus type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM; ≥126 mg/dL), insulin and glucose levels, and insulin resistance (IR) in young adulthood (ages 19-25). A prospective 15-year
BACKGROUND
Although there is evidence of metabolic risks in young women with irregular menses and androgen excess, persistence of risks after menopause is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to determine the impact of menopause on the cardiometabolic profile in women with high
Risk factors related to secondary oligomenorrhea (SOM) are the presence of chronic extragenital pathology, abrupt changes in body mass during a short period of time, a burdened perinatal history at the onset of SOM after a year of regular menstruations. Adolescent girls with SOM differ from their
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the impact of obesity and various phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and insulin resistance (IR).
METHODS
ISI and IR from 273 women in four phenotypes of PCOS and control groups were evaluated retrospectively.
RESULTS
The ISI
OBJECTIVE
We report that intractable early childhood obesity may be associated with severe insulin resistance syndromes (pseudo-Cushing's syndrome and pseudo-acromegaly) and precede polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
RESULTS
Patient 1 had prepubertal obesity followed by early puberty and was
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting women and a leading cause of female infertility worldwide. Defined clinically by the presence of hyperandrogenemia and oligomenorrhoea, PCOS represents a state of hormonal dysregulation, disrupted ovarian follicle dynamics,
Women with oligomenorrhea and polycystic ovaries show a high incidence of ovulation failure perhaps linked to insulin resistance and related metabolic features. A number of reports show that the biguanide metformin improves ovarian function. However, in these trials the quality of evidence
In a study, conducted by two clinics in Berlin and Hamburg, specializing in reproductive endocrinology, the anamnestic, clinical, and laboratory data of 170 oligomenorrheic patients (menstrual intervals between 35 and 90 days) were evaluated in order to determine the frequency of possible causes of
