University of OklahomaDec 5 2024 Physicians at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences in Oklahoma City are leading a national clinical trial to help women with polycystic ovary syndrome -related infertility who want to become pregnant.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that affects about 10% of all women of reproductive age, and it is the most common cause of infertility related to the absence of ovulation. It is exciting to be studying a new potential treatment option for women with PCOS-related infertility.
Karl Hansen, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, OU College of Medicine Hansen said about 80% of women with PCOS respond to oral medications designed to stimulate ovulation, and up to 50% of those women will achieve a pregnancy. However, approximately 20% of women do not begin ovulating with the medications. An alternative treatment involves gonadotropin injections, which require frequent monitoring and precise dosage adjustments.
