This pilot study found that intraovarian platelet-rich plasma administration significantly improved the euploidy rate of embryos in infertile women with previous IVF failures.

This case report suggests that PCOS can present with virilization and rapidly increasing testosterone levels, and highlights oral contraceptives' effectiveness in managing hyperandrogenism in such cases.

This report suggests that orf infections in Brussels often occur after the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice due to the ritual sheep sacrifice, affecting both men and women handling the animals.

This study suggests that perforin/granzyme-B might play a role in the interaction of sex hormones in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This article discusses the potential benefits of platelet-rich plasma injections in ovarian tissue to improve reproductive outcomes in IVF for older individuals and proposes a mechanism to enhance embryo ploidy rescue, but reports no new clinical results.

This research highlights that migraine in midlife women, during perimenopause, often becomes more frequent and intense, with evolving characteristics like migraine aura, and is associated with increased stroke risk, especially with hormone therapies.

In this study, polycystic ovary syndrome was the most prevalent cause of androgen excess, and suppressive hormonal therapy improved hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction, and acne in most patients, though side effects were common.

This review summarizes research on androgens' roles in female reproductive function, noting their impact on IVF outcomes and the development of PCOS, and highlights the need for mechanism-based therapies.

This study found that late adolescent and young women with clinical hyperandrogenism, including PCOS, experienced higher psychological distress and impaired well-being compared to their healthy peers.

This case report details a diagnostic challenge in a postmenopausal woman with severe hyperandrogenism where distinguishing between adrenal and ovarian causes was complicated by elevated 17-OH Progesterone and asymmetric ovarian enlargement; pending surgical pathology is expected to guide further management.

In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

This study reviewed various dermatological conditions associated with oral contraceptive use, highlighting increased pigmentation, decreased sebum production, and changes in hair growth, among other effects.

In this study, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome self-reported higher hirsutism scores compared to clinician assessments, but only clinician scores correlated with biochemical markers of hyperandrogenism.

This review discusses the impact of menopause on oral health and emphasizes the adverse effects of falling oestrogen levels on oral tissues, calling for more research into treatments like hormone replacement therapy.

This review examines the causes and characteristics of androgen excess in postmenopausal women, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize challenges in diagnosis and potential long-term health impacts.

In this study, women with a PCOS diagnosis were more likely to report clinical signs of androgen excess, including hirsutism, acne, and alopecia, with ethnic patterns in symptom prevalence.

Hirsutism is abnormal male-pattern hair growth in females due to excess androgens.

This study surveyed individuals seeking estrogen-based gender-affirming hormone therapy, revealing that improving life satisfaction and femininity are top treatment goals, and highlighting the need for trials aligned with community priorities.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, where imaging ruled out malignancy and selective venous sampling indicated increased testosterone from the right adrenal vein, leading to a recommendation for right adrenalectomy and oophorectomy.

This case report describes a woman with virilization syndrome who experienced a reduction in androgen levels and reversal of alopecia after removal of a Leydig cell tumor from her ovary.

This paper discusses the complex relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperprolactinemia, noting a decrease in prolactin levels following bromocriptine treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report highlights that in postmenopausal women with severe hyperandrogenism, thorough adrenal and pelvic evaluations, hormonal profiling, and permanent pathology are essential for accurate diagnosis and management of androgen-secreting tumors, such as AGCTs, to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure effective treatment.

This study investigates the experiences of women with PCOS to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and enhance education about the syndrome for all women.

In this case study, a 12-year-old girl with an imperforate hymen experienced significant complications, including hematometrocolpos and a large abdominal mass, highlighting the necessity of early gynecologic care and education about female anatomy to improve outcomes.

This study reported that progesterone reduces cell death in hippocampal cultures following oxygen–glucose deprivation mainly through its conversion to allopregnanolone and the involvement of GABAA receptors.

In this study, overweight women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who took evening primrose oil for 10 weeks experienced significant reductions in BMI, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, alongside hormonal changes such as decreased LH, FSH, and testosterone levels, and increased estrogen.

This case report highlights the importance of considering exogenous androgen exposure, such as transdermal testosterone cream used by a partner, in the diagnosis of virilization among women.

In the Ovulation and Menstruation Health Pilot Study, multimodal recruitment strategies effectively increased racial diversity and survey completion rates for studying menstrual disorders like PCOS.
