Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to investigate symptoms of hyperprolactinemia such as oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and correlation between hyperprolactinemia and MRI of hypophysis in infertile women.
Material And Methods: During the 10 years period, we have studied 87 patients investigated for infertility causes and with hyperprolactinemia findings, in our patients we have controled the serum prolactin levels, performed MRI of hypophysis, evaluated menstrual cycle disturbances and galactorrhea. Patients were between 20-43 of age.
Results: MRI of hypophysis confirmed prolactinoma (microadenoma) in 75.86% of our patients, while 24.14% had a normal MRI. Galactorrhea was demonstrated in 56.32% of patients. Oligomenorrhoea occured in 25.29%, and secondary amenorrhea in 14.94% of patients with hyperprolactinemia and infertility. The results show statistically significant difference in the average findings of serum prolactin levels on the day 8 and 21 of menstrual cycle in patients with or without microadenoma.
Conclusions: Menstrual cycle disturbancies (oligomenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea) in patients with hyperprolactinemia and infertility occured in 40.33% of patients. We have noted statisctically significant correlation between the serum prolactin levels on the day 8 of menstrual cycle and the microadenoma size, which was not found on the 21 day of menstrual cycle.

From both an academic and a policy angle, menstruation is receiving an unprecedented level of attention. Within the academic literature, there are many different normative arguments being furthered for how menstruation be understood and framed - variously, that it should be understood as an issue of rights, justice, health or hygiene management. Yet less attention has been paid to the step preceding these normative arguments - how menstruation actually understood at present within global health policy.

Premenstrual symptoms are distressing and impairing for individuals and costly to society. These symptoms are heterogeneous within and across people, dimensional, and dynamic. While some efforts have been made to understand the trajectories of premenstrual symptoms, two major gaps in the literature remain.

Background: To investigate the impact of Melatonin on follicular oxidative stress and assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
Method: We put 68 women with DOR who were going through ART into a randomized controlled trial. Starting on the fifth day of their menstrual cycle, we gave them either 3 mg of Melatonin or a placebo every day before stimulating their ovaries.
Multiple physiological changes occur during the menstrual cycle; many are attributed to fluctuations in estrogen, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and progesterone. These hormones differentially affect the menstrual cycle's follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases. Skin is one of the organs affected by changes in a woman's menstrual cycle.

Background: Menstrual Health (MH) knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) are highly affected by access to information regarding menstruation. Despite being included in the school curriculum, Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) education is often not delivered in practice. School-based educational interventions have been shown to be effective in promoting MH.
