Small multiple follicles (> 9) and enlarged ovarian volume (> 6.8 ml) were the most prominent transvaginal ultrasonographic features of ovaries in Clomiphene Citrate nonresponsive patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Higher levels of Testosterone, luteinizing hormone and significantly higher number of small follicles were associated with lack of Clomiphene Citrate response. These ultrasonographic features and laboratory assays could be clinically useful for distinguishing better the Clomiphene Citrate nonresponders from responders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
