Does bilateral uterine artery ligation have negative effects on ovarian reserve markers and ovarian artery blood flow in women with postpartum hemorrhage?

Objective: Bilateral uterine artery ligation (UAL) is a fertility-preserving procedure used in women experiencing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, the long-term effects of this procedure on ovarian function remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether bilateral UAL compromised ovarian reserve and ovarian blood supply.

Evaluation of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio and Red Blood Cell Distribution Width-Platelet Ratio for Diagnosis of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency.

To evaluate whether systemic inflammatory markers (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to platelet ratio (RPR)) can be used as reliable markers for the diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to determine if there is a relationship between these markers and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels. Written and electronic medical records were reviewed using searches for diagnoses with the terms of 'premature ovarian failure', 'premature ovarian insufficiency'. Patients younger than the age of 40 were diagnosed to have premature ovarian insufficiency based on their menstrual history and sonographic examination and they were compared with healthy females.

Cardiovascular risk may be increased in women with unexplained infertility.

Objective: Growing evidence suggests that increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is associated with female infertility caused by conditions such as polycystic ovarian disease, obesity, thyroid dysfunction, and endometriosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether any relationship exists between CVD and unexplained infertility.

Methods: Sixty-five women with unexplained infertility and 65 fertile controls were enrolled in the study.

Premenstrual Syndrome Is Associated With a Higher Frequency of Female Sexual Difficulty and Sexual Distress.

Few prospective studies have evaluated the impact of premenstrual symptoms (PMS) on female sexual function and sexuality-related distress. The purpose of the present study was therefore to find out risk factors of PMS for  female sexual function and sexuality-related personal distress. This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Süleymaniye Women and Children's Health Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, between February 2014 and March 2016.

Low antimullerian hormone levels may be associated with cardiovascular risk markers in women with diminished ovarian reserve.

There is growing evidence that diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) may be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of the study was to investigate whether there was any relationship between antimullerian hormone (AMH) and CVD risk markers in the study. Ninety women with DOR and 90 women with normal ovarian reserve (NOR) attending the infertility unit at XXXX, were enrolled in the study.
