The female reproductive system relies on the intact uterine adnexa and the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. An imbalance can lead to pathogenesis. PCOS is characterized by ovarian cysts, hyperandrogenism, and irregular ovulation. Over time, it can lead to symptoms such as changes in menstruation, obesity, infertility, depression, and increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and endometrial cancer. In Ayurveda, PCOS is a condition affecting , , and , the three . , , and are the that are implicated in this illness. Symptoms that may appear include (amenorrhea), , , and (an ovular hemorrhage). A 23-year-old woman presented at the outpatient department with complaints of irregular menstruation and rapid weight gain. An ultrasound revealed left-sided polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Palliative treatments such as , , and were administered for 2 months. The patient experienced a significant reduction in symptoms and a return to a normal menstrual cycle within two months.

One of the major advancements in fertilization (IVF) has been the development of culture media that enhance gamete maturation and sustain embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. The deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in gametogenesis and the complex sequence of events surrounding nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation has also enabled the development of efficient maturation (IVM) protocols. This review outlines the major landmarks in the history of maturation of oocytes, the advantages and importance of its clinical application in human, especially in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Resistant Ovary Syndrome, high antral follicle count or oncology patients, as well as the safety and efficacy of the technique.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinometabolic disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles, and often, infertility. Hypothalamic amenorrhea, a condition marked by the cessation of menstruation due to disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, is a frequent manifestation in PCOS. Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms known for improving metabolic health, have shown promise in restoring hormonal balance and enhancing fertility.

: Rat sarcoma (Ras) proteins, Kirsten, Harvey, and Neuroblastoma rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS, respectively), are a family of GTPases, which are key regulators of cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis through signal transduction pathways modulated by growth factors that have been recognized to be dysregulated in PCOS. This study explores Ras signaling proteins and growth factor-related proteins in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). : In a well-validated PCOS database of 147 PCOS and 97 control women, plasma was batch analyzed using Somascan proteomic analysis for circulating KRas, Ras GTPase-activating protein-1 (RASA1), and 45 growth factor-related proteins.

Introduction: Studies show an association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and an increased incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in this patient group. Diagnostic tools that can screen relevant groups of PCOS' patients for liver disease are still being sought.
Material And Methods: Our study included 242 patients with PCOS diagnosed on the basis of the Rotterdam criteria, which we divided according to phenotypes.

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, often associated with metabolic alterations. This study assessed serum levels of adipsin, irisin, and osteopontin in patients with PCOS and examined their correlations with metabolic parameters.
Material And Methods: A case-control study was conducted involving 96 women with PCOS and 80 healthy controls.
