Abstract BACKGROUND. Uterine fibroids are common benign uterine neoplasms in women in reproductive age and pregnancy desire. Several surgical approaches for symptomatic fibroids are available, such as surgical or pharmacologic treatments. We report three cases of fibroids treatment in women with primary sterility. CASE PRESENTATION. The first case of a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) after ulipristal acetate (UPA) as an alternative treatment to reduce the fibroids size in a patient with two previous abdominal myomectomies, resulting in an evolutive pregnancy. The second patient underwent several myomectomies (both abdominal and hysteroscopic) in a long period of time. And the third one of a successful IVF after UPA in a patient with a submucous fibroid which induced myoma migration leading to its prolapse.CONCLUSIONS. Myomectomy appears to be the gold standard treatment for fibroids in women with reproductive desires. Nevertheless, more series are essential for establishing the safety of UPA as a treatment of symptomatic fibroids prior to pregnancy.

Introduction. Infertility affects 15-17% of reproductive age couples in our country, and 10-15% of couples worldwide. The aim of this paper was to present results and experience gained after the first 1000 cycles of the national In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) program, to offer professional standard of work in our country and to compare it with results obtained in Europe and worldwide. Material and methods. The study prospectively included 1000 women who had undergone national In Vitro Fertilization program from October 2006 until November 2009 at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center of Vojvodina, Novi Sad. Results. The analysis included 1000 in vitro fertilization cycles. Male factor infertility was the leading cause (56.9%) followed by tubal factor (45.9%). The classic method of in vitro fertilization constituted 72.3% of all cycles, while intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) method was used in 27.7% of all cycles. The average number of embryos transferred was 2.67. The cycle cancellation rate was 14.10% and the aspiration rate was 94.40%. The clinical pregnancy and live birth rate were 33.41% and 26.78% per embryo transfer, respectively. Discussion and conclusion. The results in our study showed that in our setting there are far less intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles compared with the European average of 66.5% of all fresh cycles, and that we transferred more embryos on average. Our success rates are comparable with those in other European countries where the clinical pregnancy rates per aspiration and per transfer for in vitro fertilization were 29 and 32.4%, respectively in the period of observation. For intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the corresponding rates were 29.9 and 33%.

Worldwide, infertility affects 8-12% of couples of reproductive age and has become a common problem. There are many ways to treat infertility, including medication, intrauterine insemination, and in vitro fertilization. In recent years, stem-cell therapy has raised new hope in the field of reproductive disability management. Stem cells are self-renewing, self-replicating undifferentiated cells that are capable of producing specialized cells under appropriate conditions. They exist throughout a human’s embryo, fetal, and adult stages and can proliferate into different cells. While many issues remain to be addressed concerning stem cells, stem cells have undeniably opened up new ways to treat infertility. In this review, we describe past, present, and future strategies for the use of stem cells in reproductive medicine.

The aim of this review is to estimate etiologic role of uterine fibroids in female infertility; it based on the results of current studies of infertility in various cases of fibroids (submucous, intramural and subserous). In article was analyzed the efficiency of the treatment of infertility in women with uterine myoma in IVF programs.Conclusion: a detailed study of endometrial receptivity in women with uterine fibroids is necessary to for personalized strategy in patients with uterine fibroids (myoma) and infertility.

Biological potential of childbearing in the women of late reproductive age is limited by natural impairment and loss of fertility. Despite a considerable progress in clinical application of new diagnostic and reproductive technologies, the problem of infertility remains a most serious challenge. Women’s age is one of the main factors responsible for the outcome of in vitro fertilization. The low effectiveness of in vitro fertilization programs is attributed to discoordination in the hypothalamic-pituitary system, depletion of ovarian resources, and deterioration of quality of reproductive material. Bearing in mind the role of melatonin in synchronizing circadian and seasonal biorhythms and regulating physiological and pathological processes, it is natural to suggest its role in the enhancement of efficiency of in vitro fertilization programs for women of late reproductive age.
