Article Synopsis
- Oral contraceptives (OCs) are widely used by female athletes, leading to concerns about their influence on physical performance and bone health.
- A review of 344 articles narrowed down to 54 clinical studies found that OCs generally do not negatively impact endurance or muscle strength and may even reduce the risk of ACL injuries.
- The findings suggest that OCs can be safely used by young female athletes to help manage menstrual cycles while offering some protective benefits, but their use should be tailored to individual preferences and needs.
Objective: Oocyte pick-up (OPU) is a painful but essential part of fertilization (IVF) that is usually performed under sedation and analgesia (SaA). Our aim was to study that why some women decide to undergo OPU without SaA?
Methods: This was a prospective study using patient questionnaires and the standardized 7-item generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) score. The patients were asked to assess the pain experienced during OPU using a visual analog scale (VAS).
