This case report details a woman with autoimmune primary ovarian insufficiency linked to hormonal contraception discontinuation, who achieved pregnancy through ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization despite typically low fertility in such conditions.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.

This review highlights the role of disrupted glycolysis in exacerbating reproductive and metabolic abnormalities in PCOS and suggests that agents like metformin and resveratrol may help restore glycolytic balance and improve ovarian function.

This study observed that ethnic Indian women with PCOS often experience early symptom onset, delays in diagnosis, and report poor quality of life, highlighting the need for culturally tailored healthcare approaches.

This study found that among patients with sex cord stromal ovarian tumors, 11% exhibited signs of virilization, requiring thorough clinical evaluation to rule out non-neoplastic causes.

In this study, laparoscopic ovarian diathermy with three to five punctures per ovary improved reproductive outcomes for women with clomiphene-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome, while more than six punctures may cause excessive ovarian damage.

This study found that hair from ovarian teratomas shares similar chemical composition and morphology with scalp hair, but differs in physical properties and cysteic acid bands.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with increased libido, hirsutism, and spontaneous orgasms, noting elevated testosterone levels and enlarged ovaries.

This position statement reviews the role of exercise professionals in managing PCOS and provides recommendations for physical activity, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews potential herbal compounds for polycystic ovarian syndrome and suggests they could be used alongside existing treatments, but presents no new experimental findings.

In this case study, researchers identified a Leydig cell tumor in a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms by using ovarian vein sampling, as imaging was nonrevealing, and confirmed the tumor's location using testosterone ratios, which supported previous findings.

In this study, two women with hyperandrogenic symptoms were found to have ovarian Leydig cell tumors after selective ovarian venous sampling and salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to a decline in testosterone levels post-surgery.

In this retrospective cohort study, no significant differences were observed in assisted reproductive outcomes among different PCOS phenotypes undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain who was found to have an ovarian cavernous hemangioma, highlighting the importance of correct diagnosis to prevent unnecessary radical surgery.

This article discusses the signs, symptoms, and associated risks of polycystic ovary syndrome, without providing new clinical results; it emphasizes the link between being overweight and increased metabolic risks.

In this study, women with a complete hydatidiform mole had significantly higher pre-evacuation levels of hCG, free testosterone, and DHEA-S compared to controls, which declined after HM evacuation.

This report describes a unique case of an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with estrogenic symptoms of menorrhagia, which is unusual given the typical androgenic manifestations.

This study found that patients with ovarian metastases from breast cancer had a better prognosis after tumor debulking if they exhibited high estrogen and progesterone receptor expression in both the primary tumor and metastases.

This case report describes a woman in her 30s who had virilisation and androgenic alopecia due to a testosterone-secreting ovarian tumor, which normalized after its surgical removal.

Hair loss in postmenopausal women due to ovarian hyperthecosis is rare, but removing the ovaries can significantly improve the condition.

This study observed that women with PCOS have lower resistive and pulsatility index values in ovarian stromal arteries compared to normal women, indicating Doppler ultrasonography as an effective diagnostic tool for PCOS-related hemodynamic changes.

This study found that ethnic Indian women with PCOS are dissatisfied with the medical support and information they receive at diagnosis, impacting their quality of life, especially concerning weight and mental health.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

This study found that in Korean women with polycystic ovary syndrome, higher ovarian volumes were significantly associated with increased serum levels of free testosterone, total testosterone, and 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone.

This study suggests that while PCOS phenotype does not affect oocyte quality, a combination of hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation negatively impacts cumulative pregnancy rates in assisted reproduction.

This case report describes a 29-year-old woman with PCOS who experienced improvements in menstrual cycle regularity and ovarian size after Ayurvedic treatment, including Matra basti therapy.
