Changes of bioactive luteinizing hormone after laparoscopic ovarian cautery in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Abstract:

:The serum levels of bioactive luteinizing hormone (LH), immunoreactive LH, follicle-stimulating hormone, androstenedione (A), and testosterone (T) were determined in nine anovulatory women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) before and after laparoscopic ovarian cautery. Eight ovulated spontaneously and three conceived after treatment. Before treatment, the mean (+/- SEM) levels of bioactive LH, immunoreactive LH, A, and T were 51.4 +/- 8.6 mIU/mL, 36.0 +/- 4.5 mIU/mL, 1.98 +/- 0.35 ng/mL, and 1.18 +/- 0.13 ng/mL, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of five control women (19.2 +/- 1.6 mIU/mL, 21.4 +/- 1.2 mIU/mL, 0.54 +/- 0.03 ng/mL, 0.28 +/- 0.03 ng/mL). After treatment, the mean levels of these hormones had significantly decreased. Decreases in the levels of these hormones by laparoscopic ovarian cautery in women with PCOS may result in both restoration of the ovulatory cycle and achievement of pregnancy.
