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.

Key Highlights

    Addresses the root hormonal cause of infertility for improved conception chances.Personalized treatment plans combining medication, lifestyle guidance, and advanced ART.Can regulate menstrual cycles and restore regular ovulation.Helps manage associated symptoms like acne, hirsutism, and metabolic issues.Integrated care within a reproductive endocrinology specialty for comprehensive support.

  • Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) with associated hyperandrogenism.
  • Presence of clinical signs such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth), severe acne, or alopecia.
  • 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.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive hormonal blood panel to measure testosterone, DHEA-S, LH, FSH, and AMH levels.
  • Pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian morphology (e.g., polycystic ovaries) and uterine health.
  • Medical history review and physical examination, noting signs of hyperandrogenism.
  • Pre-treatment counseling on lifestyle modifications including diet, exercise, and weight management.
  • Discussion of treatment options, success rates, timelines, and associated costs.

  • If IVF is part of the cycle, rest is advised for 1-2 days post-egg retrieval procedure.
  • Monitoring for signs of OHSS (severe abdominal pain, bloating, nausea) is crucial.
  • 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.
