“…Findings in Italian fertile women showed an inverse relationship between obesity and LH and FSH levels. In the present in this research, a positive relation was found between FSH and obesity (41) . In addition, infertility risk rises when there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, which can be caused by hormonal fluctuations.…”

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder that affects body systems and leads to reproductive and metabolic complications.Among women of reproductive age, it is considered as one of the main cause of infertility. The present study aimed to evaluate a biochemical hormones (FSH, LH, LH/FSH ratio and TESTO) of infertile women with and without polycystic ovarian syndrome in Basra City - Iraq, in order to know whether they represent biomarkers of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Method:The present study included 60 patients infertile women (30 with PCOS and 30 without PCOS) aged between 16 to 40 years, which was admitted to Infertility and IVF Centre in Basra Hospital for Women and Children (IbnGhazwan) in Basra Government-Southern Iraq. A control group of 30 entirely healthy participants with an age range of (16 -40) years were considered. Body mass index was calculatedfor the two groups. There follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and testosterone were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Software of SPSS 26 was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The results of the present study showed a significant increase in each of (LH and LH/FSH) concentration in PCOS compared to the control. Moreover, the results illustrateda significant increase in patients without PCOS(LH and BMI)compared to the controls. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is a significant increase in LH, LH/FSH levels in addition to BMI among women with PCOS and without PCOS compared to Fertile women.

“…[ 2 ] The most important causes of male infertility include congenital or acquired abnormalities of the genitourinary system. [ 3 ] The presence of the malefactor is often based on abnormal sperm parameters. [ 4 ] Impaired sperm production and function and damage to the spermatogenesis process are among the most common causes of male infertility.…”

Background: Infertility is one of the most common problems in the world; there is a growing demand for herbal medicines to treat infertility-related problems. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial with three groups was conducted, each with 30 participants. The first group was administered 1.5 grams of Carob daily, the second group was administered 1.5 grams of Ginseng daily, and the third group received a placebo. The treatment was administered for 12 weeks, and before and after the intervention, semen parameters, testosterone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid hormones, and sexual function were evaluated. Sexual function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire. Results: The mean (SD) age of participants was 34.83 (6.22), 34.60 (5.78), and 33.67 (5.82) years in Carob, Ginseng, and Placebo groups, respectively. The results showed that in the Carob group, the normal volume of semen (Z 133 = 3.05, p = 0.02) and the normal shape of sperm (Z 134 = 2.97, p = 0.01) increased significantly compared to the control group. In the Ginseng group, the normal volume (Z 133 = 3.90, p = 0.001) and the normal viscosity of semen (Z 133 = 2.36, p = 0.01) increased significantly compared to the control group.The Carob group showed a significant increase in normal sperm counts and testosterone hormone levels (Z 131 = 2.81, p = 0.05). The Ginseng group demonstrated a significant improvement in orgasm function (H2 = 6.14, p = 0.04) and the total score of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) (H2 = 5.8, p = 0.05). Conclusions: Carob supplements are suggested to enhance some semen parameters and male sex hormones. For infertile men, Ginseng can be beneficial in improving sexual function.

Background: During the last decades, the postponement of motherhood became a reality in developed countries, leading to inevitable medical consequences, both maternal and fetal. Fertility preservation techniques constitute a matter of discussion in the context of voluntary delay of pregnancy. Objective: This study aims to analyse the causes, to address the maternal and fetal consequences and to explore solutions to this problem, namely the applicability of fertility preservation techniques. Methods: Bibliographic search of studies published between 2008 and 2020 was conducted in the PubMed database using the MeSH terms "fertility preservation" and "maternal age", among others. Results: The reasons that lead to the postponement of motherhood are the difficulty in establishing stable relationships, the expansion of differentiated education and demanding labor conditions, the diffusion of contraceptive methods, economic insecurity, ideational changes and the lack of information about this issue. The increased infertility, fetal death, chromosomal anomalies, multiple pregnancies, preterm birth and increased caesarean sections are the medical consequences associated. The review of social policies and the provision of information about fertility constitute possible solutions to this phenomenon. Fertility preservation techniques, especially oocyte cryopreservation, appear as an option but cannot totally compensate the age-related fertility decline. Conclusion: Advanced maternal age is a Public Health issue essentially explained by a set of interconnected social factors, involving considerable risks for maternal and fetal health. Fertility preservation techniques, although promising, may contribute to the perpetuation of this reality.
