Features of Clinical and Hormonal Parameters at Women With Regular Menstrual Cycles and Polycystic Ovaries

Abstract

It was a comparative analysis of clinical and hormonal parameters in women with normalmenstrual cycles and cystic degenerate ovaries, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients andhealthy women. There were no significant differences in the content of testosterone, estradiol,dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, 17-OH progesterone, prolactin and sex hormone binding globulinin the blood serum of healthy women and women with cystic degenerate ovaries. Indicators of antimullerian hormone in patients with cystic degenerate ovaries were significantly higher than in healthy,but lower than in patients with PCOS. As with PCOS levels of anti-mullerian hormone in women withovarian degenerate cystic positively correlated with ovarian volume, the number of antral follicles andthe level of luteinizing hormone. It is suggested that cystic degenerate ovaries are not normal, butrather — a milder phenotype of PCOS.
