About Hyperandrogenism

Hyperandrogenism management in IVF and Reproductive Medicine is a specialized, multi-faceted approach to diagnosing and treating elevated levels of male hormones (androgens) in individuals, primarily women, which can significantly impair fertility. This condition, often associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), disrupts ovulation and menstrual cycles. The procedure involves a comprehensive evaluation through blood tests and imaging, followed by a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include lifestyle modifications, ovulation-inducing medications like clomiphene or letrozole, and advanced assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to overcome the fertility barriers posed by hormonal imbalance and achieve a successful pregnancy.

  • Irregular, infrequent, or absent menstrual periods (oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea).
  • Failed response to first-line ovulation induction therapies.
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss where hormonal imbalance is a suspected factor.

  • Follow-up blood tests and ultrasounds to monitor hormone response and follicle growth.
  • Emotional support and counseling are integral parts of the recovery and treatment journey.
  • Patients are guided on the timing for embryo transfer (if IVF) or timed intercourse/insemination.
