Objective: This study was designed to assess the efficacy of early aspiration of small follicles (EASF) in preventing moderate and severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women with polycystic ovaries who experienced excessive ovarian response during the early part of assisted reproductive treatment cycles (ART).
Study Design: EASF was undertaken transvaginally during 15 in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in 14 women with polycystic ovaries who produced more than 20 small follicles during the early part of the cycle. A minimum of 10 small follicles.
Outcomes: None of the patients developed moderate or severe OHSS. There were 9 intrauterine pregnancies (60 %) and 1 ectopic pregnancy.
Conclusions: EASF 4 to 7 days after starting gonadotropin injections prevented moderate and severe OHSS in susceptible patients with polycystic ovaries and resulted in a high pregnancy rate. Larger studies are needed to verify these promising results.

This study aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) with metformin in enhancing ovarian function, promoting ovulation, and reducing perceived stress in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS were identified using the Androgen Excess Society's criteria, and 60 participants were enrolled and divided equally into two groups. One group received a 40:1 ratio of MI plus DCI, while the other received metformin for a 12-week period.

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder associated with increased risk of kidney and liver damage. Current treatments have shown contradictory outcomes, and their long-term use causes unwanted side effects. could serve as a complementary medicine to current PCOS treatments.

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological condition affecting individuals of reproductive age and is linked to the gut microbiome. This study aimed to identify the hotspots and research trends within the domain of the gut microbiome in PCOS through bibliometric analysis.
Methods: Utilizing bibliometric techniques, we examined the literature on the gut microbiome in PCOS from the Web of Science Core Collection spanning the period from 2012 to 2023.

Androgen excess and metabolic abnormality largely contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which primarily precipitates ovarian dysfunction and infertility in reproductive-age women. Impaired mitochondrial function and epigenetic alteration have been linked to the development of PCOS. However, it is unknown whether acetate would exert a therapeutic effect on ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in PCOS.
