Background: The ovarian cysts are a common pathology in gynecology.
Aim: The aim of our study is to confront ultrasound and coelioscopic data in final anatomo pathological diagnosis of ovarian cysts and to assess the efficiency and the morbidity of coelioscopic treatment.
Methods: We report a retrospective study of 100 ovarian cysts collected in CHU of Mongi Slim La Marsa from October 1st, 2003 to November 30th, 2007.
Results: The coelioscopic exploration coupled with the extemporany review has a sensitivity of 100%. The benefits of coelioscopy are: less esthetic desagrement, a decrease in morbidity per and post operatory and economic benefit. The risk of ignoring a malignant lesion is not zero with a risk of spread tumor. That's why it must respect strict rules and convert if malignancy is suspected.
Conclusion: Coelioscopy has let a reliable diagnosis of malignancy with a low morbidity, it is an efficient and comfortable technic for patients.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting 6-20% of women of childbearing age worldwide. Immune cell imbalance and dysregulation of inflammatory factors can lead to systematic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLCI), which plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. A significant higher infiltration of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes and pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α has been detected in PCOS organ systems, impacting not only the female reproductive system but also other organs such as the cardiovascular, intestine, liver, thyroid, brain and other organs.

Objective: To explore whether acupuncture combined with clomiphene can reduce the luteinizing hormone-to follicle-stimulating hormone ratio and impact the gut microbiota in patients with obese polycystic ovary syndrome.
Methods: This open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled trial included 86 women aged 20-40 years with obese polycystic ovary syndrome and 19 healthy controls. Participants were randomly assigned to either an acupuncture combined with clomiphene group or a clomiphene-only group, with a healthy control group for comparison.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a frequent disorder among women. Exercise training has been known as an effective treatment for this disorder; however, there is small amount of evidence examining the optimal exercise programs. We evaluated the function of combined (COM) training on metabolic, hormonal parameters, and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation in PCOS patients.

Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is frequently utilized in rheumatic immune disorders and has been discovered to exert hypoglycemic effects in some obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), however, the precise efficacy and mechanism of action remain ambiguous.
Objective: To examine the impact of HCQ on glucose and lipid metabolism as well as sex hormone levels in obese women with PCOS.
Method: Fifty obese women with PCOS were randomly allocated into two groups: HCQ group (n = 25) and metformin (MET) group (n = 25).

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with various contributing factors. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a contemporary noninvasive imaging technique that reports on the elasticity of tissues. This study aimed to evaluate ovarian stiffness in patients with PCOS using transvaginal SWE, and investigate the potential biological mechanisms underlying increased ovarian stiffness.
