Introduction: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and its corresponding receptor (FSHR) are essential factors for regular gonadal development, sexual maturation at puberty and gamete production during the fertile period in both sexes.

Siginificant hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman from a likely ovarian source

Kamath Chandan , Routledge M , Ashraf M , Premawardhana Lakdasa , Adlan Mohammed

Introduction: The polycystic ovary syndrome is the commonest cause for hyperandrogenism in young women. However, in older women, adrenal and ovarian tumours are more common, particularly if (a) hyperandrogenism is of short duration, (b) causes significant clinical androgenisation, and (c) is biochemically severe. We present an elderly woman who presented diagnostic and therapeutic challenges on account of her comorbidities.Case Present...

Women with POI show increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality regardless of the cause of the ovarian insufficiency. The treatment of premature ovarian failure in patients presenting extremely low HLD-C is a real challenge.We present the case of a 29 ye...
