RESUMO

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder in reproductive age women and is characterized by hyperandrogenic anovulation and oligo-amenorrhea, which leads to infertility. Anovulation in PCOS is associated with low follicle-stimulating hormone levels and the arrest of antral follicle development in the final stages of maturation. L-carnitine (LC) plays a role in fatty acid metabolism, which is found to be lacking in PCOS patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of LC supplementation for patients with PCOS. Methods: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Psychological Information Database (PsycINFO), and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for all randomized control trials, comparing LC alone or in combination with other standard treatments for the treatment of PCOS from inception till June 2021. We independently screened titles and abstracts to identify available trials, and complete texts of the trials were checked for eligibility. Data on the methods, interventions, outcomes, and risk of bias from the included trials were independently extracted by the authors. The estimation of risk ratios and mean differences with a 95 percent confidence interval (CI) was performed using a random-effects model. Results: Nine studies with 995 participants were included in this review. Five comparison groups were involved. In one comparison group, LC reduced the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (mean differences (MD) -5.10, 95% CI [-6.25 to -3.95]; P = 0.00001), serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (MD -25.00, 95% CI [-27.93 to -22.07]; P = 0.00001), serum total cholesterol (MD -21.00, 95% CI [-24.14 to -17.86]; P = 0.00001), and serum triglyceride (TG) (MD -9.00, 95% CI [-11.46 to -6.54]; P = 0.00001) with moderate certainty of evidence. Another comparison group demonstrated that LC lowers the LDL (MD -12.00, 95% CI [-15.80 to -8.20]; P = 0.00001), serum total cholesterol (MD -24.00, 95% CI [-27.61 to -20.39]; P = 0.00001), and serum TG (MD -19.00, 95% CI [-22.79 to -15.21]; P = 0.00001) with moderate certainty of evidence. Conclusion: There was low to moderate certainty of evidence that LC improves Body Mass Index (BMI) and serum LDL, TG, and total cholesterol levels in women with PCOS.

RESUMO

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrinopathy in women is characterized by polycystic ovaries, chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. The treatment in PCOS is mainly symptomatic and involves lifestyle interventions and medications such as Metformin, Oral contraceptives and Antiandrogens. However, the management of PCOS is challenging and current interventions are not able to deal with outcomes of this syndrome. This review encompasses latest pharmacotherapeutic and non-pharmacotherapeutic interventions currently in use to tackle various symptomatic contentions in PCOS. Our focus has been mainly on novel therapeutic modalities for treatment/management of PCOS, like use of newer insulin sensitizers viz., Inositols, Glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) agonists, Dipeptidyl pepdidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, and sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Also, evidence suggesting the use of vitamin D, statins, and Letrozole as emerging therapies in PCOS have been summarized in this review. Additionally, novel cosmetic techniques like electrolysis, laser and use of topically applied eflornithine to tackle the most distressing feature of facial hirsutism associated with PCOS, non-pharmacological therapy like acupuncture and the role of herbal medicine in PCOS management have also been discussed.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy differences between herb-partitioned moxibustion on navel and clomiphene for anovulatory infertility. METHODS: With double-blind double-dummy randomized control method, a total of 40 patients with anovulatory infertility were randomly divided into a moxibustion group and a clomiphene group, 20 cases in each one. Blinding was conducted on both patients and doctors. The patients in the moxibustion group were treated with herb-partitioned moxibustion on navel and oral administration of clomiphene placebo, while the patients in the clomiphene group were treated with placebo-partitioned moxibustion on navel and oral administration of clomiphene. The herb-partitioned moxibustion and placebo-partitioned moxibustion were given at the end of menstruation, 1.5 hours per treatment, once a week, and no treatment was given during menstruation. The oral administration of clomiphene and clomiphene placebo were given from 5 days into menstruation, 50 mg, once a day, for consecutive 5 days. One menstrual cycle was taken as one treatment course, and 3 treatment courses were conducted. After 3 treatment courses, the endometrial thickness (ET), maximum follicular diameter (MFD), ovulation rate (OR) and effective rate (ER) were evaluated between the two groups. RESULTS: (1) Compared before treatment, ET was significantly increased after treatment in the two groups (both P<0.05); after treatment, the ET in the moxibustion group was higher than that in the clomiphene group (P<0.05). (2) After treatment, MFD was significantly increased in the moxibustion group (P<0.05) and insignificantly increased in the clomiphene group (P>0.05); the MFD in the moxibustion group was higher than that in the clomiphene group (P<0.05). (3) The OR was 75.0% (15/20) and 65.0% (13/20) in the two groups respectively, which were not significantly different (P>0.05). (4) The total ER in the moxibustion group was 95.0% (19/20), which was superior to 70.0% (14/20) in the clomiphene group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The clinical efficacy of herb-partitioned moxibustion at navel on anovulatory infertility was superior to that of clomiphene, but their effects on OR was similar.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic efficacy of combination of Compound Xuanju Capsule (CXC) and clomiphene citrate (CC) for ovulatory dysfunctional infertility (001) patients of Shen-yang deficiency syndrome (SYDS). METHODS: Totally 87 001 patients of SYDS were randomly assigned to 2 groups, the treatment group (44 cases, treated with CXC and CC) and the control group (43 cases, treated with CC alone). The post-treatment clinical symptoms, the cervical mucus, the endometrial thickness, the quality of follicles, the ovulation, and the pregnancy rate, and so on were observed. RESULTS: In aspect of improving the patients' SYDS, the effective rate was 86.4% (38/44) in the treatment group and 25.6% (11/43) in the control group. It was better in the treatment group (P < 0.01). After treatment better effects on the cervical mucus, the endometrial thickness, and the pregnancy rate were obtained in the treatment group, showing statistical difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the rate of ovulation and mature follicular numbers between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: CXC combined CC could ameliorate hypoestrinemia-like effects on the endometrium, increase the endometrial thickness, and be favorable to the pregnancy in treating ODI patients of SYDS.

RESUMO

To compare the clinical efficiency of different modes of treatment of infertile couples and to estimate the possible benefit of nutraceutical food supplementation (NFS), the numbers needed to treat (NNT) was calculated in 4143 infertile couples based on controlled trials in recent literature and personal data. The NNT expresses the number of individuals who need to be treated to obtain one complementary pregnancy. In female infertility, the NNT of mild or moderate endometriosis was 8.4, and in anti-estrogens treatment of anovulation, it was 5.9. In tamoxifen treatment of idiopathic oligozoospermia, NNT was 3.9, and in antioxidant supplementation, it was 7.8. Treatment of varicocele yielded NNT of 6.3 and 6.8 after 1 year in multi- or single-centre trials, respectively, and NFS lowered the NNT after 3 months to 2.6. Adding NFS to the male partner increased the ongoing pregnancy rate by IVF with NNT of 8.3, and adding NFS to both partners reduced the NNT to 4.0. Although these results were obtained in heterogeneous trials and populations, it is suggested that the NNT should be useful for comparing the effectiveness of different modes of treatment of the infertile couple, and that complementary nutraceutical food supplementation may be beneficial.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether use of multivitamins and intake of specific nutrients in multivitamins is associated with ovulatory infertility. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study. SETTING: The Nurses' Health Study II. PATIENT(S): Eighteen thousand five hundred fifty-five married, premenopausal women without a history of infertility who attempted a pregnancy or became pregnant between 1991 and 1999. INTERVENTION(S): None, observational study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Incident reports of infertility caused by anovulation. RESULT(S): During 8 years of follow-up, 438 women reported infertility caused by ovulatory disorder. There was an inverse association between frequency of multivitamin use and ovulatory infertility. The multivariate-adjusted relative risk (95% confidence interval) of ovulatory infertility was 0.88 (0.60, 1.28) for women consuming two tablets per week or less, 0.69 (0.51, 0.95) for women consuming three to five tablets per week, and 0.59 (0.46, 0.75) for women consuming six or more tablets per week, when compared with women who did not use these supplements (P, trend <.001). Folic acid appeared to explain part of the association between multivitamin supplement use and risk of ovulatory infertility. CONCLUSION(S): Regular use of multivitamin supplements may decrease the risk of ovulatory infertility.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of Lin'erlai Prescription (LEL) in treating anovulatory infertility of blood and essence asthenia syndrome type (BEAS). METHODS: Sixty patients with anovulatory infertility in Western medical term, and classified as BEAS in Chinese medical term were equally assigned to two groups, they were treated with LEL (the treated group) and clomid (the control group) respectively. The ovulation rate and pregnant rate were observed. RESULTS: The total effective rate in the treated group was 96.7%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (53.3% , P < 0.05). The abortion rate was 10.0% in the treated group, significantly lower than that in the control group (54.6% , P<0.05); the TCM symptom score decreased significantly in the treated group after treatment (P < 0.01), but unchanged in the control group. CONCLUSION: LEL has good effect in treating anovulatory infertility of BEAS type.

RESUMO

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study, 55 anovulatory subjects received a single s.c. injection of placebo (n = 10) or recombinant long-acting FSH [FSH-carboxy terminal peptide (CTP), ORG 36286, corifollitropin alfa; NV Organon, The Netherlands] in doses of 7.5 (n = 13), 15 (n = 10), 30 (n = 11), or 60 microg (n = 11). The injection was given 2 or 3 d after the onset of a spontaneous or progestagen-induced withdrawal bleed. After drug administration, the induced follicular response varied widely among subjects in each dose group. The percentage of subjects with a follicular response (at least one follicle > or = 10.0 mm) increased with the dose (P < 0.01) and was 10, 31, 70, 73, and 82% in the placebo and 7.5-, 15-, 30-, and 60-microg treatment groups, respectively. In responding subjects, the average maximum number of follicles was 4.0, 7.6, 13.4, and 20.0, respectively, which was reached at 6.5, 6.9, 6.6, and 8.2 d after a single dose of 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 microg FSH-CTP, respectively. The dose-response for the number of follicles was statistically significant within the dose range tested (P < 0.01). Peak serum inhibin-B levels were significantly correlated with serum estradiol (E2) levels (r = 0.84, P < 0.01), and peak concentrations of inhibin-B and E2 correlated with the number of follicles observed at the same time point (for both hormones; r = 0.47, P < 0.01). Overall per treatment group, serum E2 and inhibin B concentrations significantly increased only in the two highest FSH-CTP dose groups, reaching peak concentrations at d 3 in the 30-microg group and at d 5 in the 60-microg group. Thereafter these hormone values declined rapidly, returning to baseline within 1 wk after FSH-CTP administration. In total, nine of the 55 treated subjects (16.4%) ovulated after drug administration: one subject in the placebo group, two subjects in the 7.5-microg group, three subjects in the 15-microg group, two in the 30-microg group, and one in the 60-microg group. Three subjects had monofollicular ovulation after placebo (n = 1) and a single dose of 15 microg FSH-CTP (n = 2). In two subjects with too many preovulatory follicles, (multiple) ovulation was prevented by GnRH antagonist administration. Thus, a single low dose of long-acting FSH-CTP was able to induce one or more follicles to grow up to ovulatory sizes, but the anovulatory status was not reversed because the incidence of subsequent (mono)ovulations was low.

RESUMO

La hemorragia uterina disfuncional es un transtorno frecuente ginecológico. Es un diagnóstico de exclusión, y el clínico debe proceder a una evaluación lógica y escalonada de todas las causas de sangrado anormal. La menorragia en la mayoría de los casos se asocia con anovulación. El tratamiento médico debería ser la primera opción terapéutica y puede ser dividido en terapia no hormonal y hormonal. Los dos principales tratamientos para la menorragia asociada a ciclos ovulatorios son no hormonales, mediante un antifibrinolítico como el ácido tranexámico y antiinflamatorios. Tradicionalmente la terapia hormonal para la menorragia ha estado constituida por los progestágenos y los anticonceptivos orales. El sistema intrauterino de liberación de levonorgestrel ofrece un nuevo concepto terapéutico que combina una eficaz contracepción con una reducción del sangrado menstrual. Es una buena alternativa conservadora a la resección endometrial y parece ser una importante alternativa a la medicación oral. En el manejo de la pérdida menstrual excesiva hay una evidencia demostrada de que muchos médicos no prescriben los tratamientos más adecuados. El incremento en la utilización de tratamientos efectivos mejoraría las expectativas de las pacientes y supondría una alternativa a la cirugía (AU)
