Currently, glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants are widely used to treat SLE patients. However, ovarian dysfunction occurs following the use of these drugs in women with SLE. Here, we summarize recent progress in terms of understanding ovarian injury, the effects of drug application and strategies to improve ovarian function in women with SLE.
