Hysteroscopic findings in chronic endometritis.

Chronic endometritis (CE) is a subtle pathology. Despite being difficult to detect and probably underdiagnosed, it has great clinical relevance, representing as it does a reversible cause of infertility. Nowadays, histological examination with identification of endometrial stromal plasma cells is considered the gold standard for diagnosis.

Fertility preservation for genetic diseases leading to premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

Purpose: The current review aims to summarize the data available concerning the applicability of fertility preservation techniques to genetic conditions at risk of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

Methods: A literature review through the PubMed Database was carried out.

Results: About 10% of cases of POI is related to genetic diseases.

Genetic conditions impairing female fertility.

Fertility represents a biological and psychological requirement for women. Some genetic diseases represent a rare cause of infertility, being responsible for 10% of cases of premature ovarian insufficiency. Among these, the most frequent and also those most studied by researchers are Turner Syndrome - due to a karyotype abnormality of the X chromosome pair - and the presence of fragile X premutation (FMR1).

Ovarian Reserve Markers to Identify Poor Responders in the Context of Poseidon Classification.

It is well-known that poor ovarian reserve is a cause of infertility, poor response to gonadotrophin stimulation and poor success rate after fertilization (IVF) cycles. Some years ago a consensus was elaborated on precise criteria which can lead to a correct identification of poor responders (the Bologna criteria). More recently, the POSEIDON group has proposed a new stratified classification of patients with low prognosis, also with the aim of providing clinical indications for the management of these patients.
