Purpose To explore the value of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients for different phenotype and age, and identify the relationship between the hyperandrogenism (HA) and polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM) in Chinese cohort.Methods A total of 2262 women (1631 with PCOS and 631 health controls) were enrolled. The serum AMH and total testosterone (TT) were analyzed, compared the AMH level of each subgroup and evaluated the value of each phenotype and age group of PCOS.Results The level of AMH in PCOS(8.63±4.73ng/ml) was higher than that in health controls(5.57±3.31ng/ml) (P<0.01).The level of AMH in PCOM subgroup(11.19±6.4ng/ml) was significantly higher than that in HA subgroup(8.58±4.74ng/ml) (P<0.01), and both higher than that in health controls(P<0.01). AMH changes highly in PCOS compared with the health control, but as the same value in subgroups of PCOS patients under 30-year-old.Conclusion AMH changed in different subgroups of PCOS, which was the possible reason why AMH was not a diagnostic indicator. However, AMH could differ the subgroup in clinical, AMH was strongly related with PCOM, not hyperandrogenism. AMH changed much as aged, but stable in PCOS patients under 30-year-old.
Background: Combined cervical cancer and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is extremely uncommon and there is no standard treatment guideline for the complex comorbidity. We attempted to provide a treatment strategy and explore possible reasons for the comorbidities.Case presentation: We presented a 62-year-old patient seeking treatment for postmenopausal tissue prolapse and leakage of urine. Physical examination revealed procidentia with a 2.5 cm papillary and erosive lesion that was pathologically confirmed as cervical squamous cell carcinoma in stage Ib2. Clinical diagnosis included cervical squamous cell carcinoma in stage Ib2, prolapse of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina and uterine, stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Then she was performed radical surgery for cervical cancer and tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O). The urine function was good after operation. The surgery solved two diseases, which improved the quality of life (QOL) of patient and radically cured cervical malignancies at the same time.Conclusions: Surgical-based treatment seems to be more suitable that can cure the two diseases and improve the QOL. We should pay attention to the potential high incidence of HPV infection and HPV-related cervical cancer so that we should not ignore the screening for cervical cancer in the prolapse group and initiate surgery treatment strategies of cervical cancer or pre-cancerous lesions as early as possible to reach an optimal outcome of patient.
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.
