Aim. To study reproductive health of women with and without eating disorders.Materials and Methods. We designed an original questionnaire, surveyed and analyzed the medical records of 200 women of reproductive age.Results. All the study participants suffered from eating disorders. Out of 200 patients, 46 (23%), 120 (63%), and 34 (17%) had emotional, restrictive, and external eating disorders, respectively. Women with normal body mass index (BMI) or overweight were more likely to have an avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder while emotional and external types prevailed among obese patients. Fibrocystic breast changes, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, and breast cancer were significantly more common in women with obesity (r = 0.74 for gynecological diseases in total). Pelvic inflammatory disease was more frequently diagnosed in women with emotional eating disorders while fibrocystic breast changes, uterine fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome were more prevalent in those with restrictive food intake disorder. Breast cancer prevailed in women with external eating disorders.Conclusion. Women of reproductive age are frequently diagnosed with different types of eating disorders. Obese women are more likely to have reproductive system disease. Each of eating disorders correlate with different gynecological diseases.

Ovary Syndrome

The review analyzes the data on pathogenesis, prevalence, pathomorphology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of ovarian stromal hyperthecosis. This condition is characterized by severe hyperandrogenism and impaired glucose tolerance, and it is mostly occurs in postmenopausal women. Main cause of androgenic hyperproduction in women of reproductive age - the polycystic ovary syndrome - is thoroughly studied; standards for diagnostics and treatment for such patients are developed. Little is known about stromal hyperthecosis, which is a more rare cause of hyperandrogenism that had been considered as a severe form of polycystic ovary syndrome. However, it became an independent nosological form after a detailed study of the pathomorphology. Currently, there are no generally accepted diagnostic criteria for stromal hyperthecosis. This is not only because the disease is rare, but also due to the difficulty of making the final diagnosis. Patients with stromal hyperthecosis are at high risk for developing malignancies - endometrial cancer or breast cancer. So, the need for further investigation and developing treatment approaches is undoubted. In majority of cases, the diagnosis of stromal hyperthecosis is set on histological examination of ovarian tissue from patients with idiopathic severe hyperandrogenism, infertility or cancer. The practicing obstetrician-gynecologist must be aware of this condition to suspect the ovarian stromal hyperthecosis when its typical clinical features manifest, to perform meticulous laboratory and instrumental investigation and to choose the correct management tactics for such patients.

Treatment Of Obesity

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder affecting women of reproductive age and it is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Obesity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS, and the majority of patients with PCOS are obese. Over the last 20 years, the prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased, with probable associated increase in PCOS. Weight reduction plays an integral part in the management of women with PCOS. In this paper, current available weight reduction therapies in the management of PCOS are discussed.

The Metabolic Syndrome

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulation and hyperandrogenism in women, affecting between 5 and 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide (1). Although this difficult topic in endocrine gynaecology is under extensive research, controversies still remain about the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy of PCOS. The PCOS phenotype can be structured in three components: manifestations of anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and the metabolic syndrome (of which hyperinsulinaemia secondary to insulin resistance is the central abnormality). The latter two are addressed in other chapters. Our knowledge about the mechanism of disturbed folliculogenesis in PCOS that is responsible for its reproductive aspects has much increased these last years, thus opening new avenues for the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Antral Follicles

41 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 15 healthy women of reproductive age were examined to evaluate ovarian aromatase activity. Aromatase activity was determined by the decrease of estradiol level after peroral intake of aromatase inhibitor letrosol. To examine aromatase activity of antral follicle (∆E2) was divided on the blood level of antimullerian hormone (AMH), which is corresponded to the number of antral follicles. Significant variations of aromatase activity of antral follicles in patients with PCOS were determined: in 34.1 % of women it was within physiological ranges, in 48.8 % of women it was decreased and in 17.1 % of women it was increased. Aromatase activity of antral follicles in patients with PCOS correlated with blood levels of estradiol (r = 0.67), estron (r = 0.27), free testosterone(r = 0.43), androstendion (r = 0.34) and body mass index (r = 0.30). Aromatase activity had reverse correlation with number of antral follicles. Athors suggest that the sensitivity of the ovaries to gonadotropinic stimulation is decreased in patients with PCOS and low aromatase activity.

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine conditions affecting women of reproductive age Group with prevalence of approximately 7- 10% worldwide. Objective: The objectives of the study were to find out the effect of Standardized Fenugreek Seed extract as Furostenolic Saponins (Furocyst) on reduction in ovarian volume and the number of ovarian cysts. Method: An open labelled, Multicentre, single-arm, and non-comparative study was planned on 50 female patients suffering from PCOS. Patients were enrolled as per inclusion i.e. premenopausal women between 18-45 years of age, BMI less than 42, diagnosed with PCOS, with adequate hepatic, renal and haematological functions. Patients willing to give informed consent in writing Patients with Hysterectomy/ Congenital adrenal Hyperplasia/ Cushing’s syndrome / Androgen secreting tumour/ Thyroid-dysfunction/ Hypo-gonadism were excluded. Women were allocated to receive Furocyst and were assessed on parameters of USG & hormonal on second day of cycle before and every 4 weeks within treatment period of 12 weeks. Result: After treatment for 3 months with Furocyst caused significant reduction in ovary Volume (p 0.000), 46% of study population showed reduction in cyst size who had bigger cyst, 36% study population showed complete dissolution of cyst who had small cyst, 12% study population got pregnant and 71% patients reported regular menstrual cycle on completion of treatment and LH: FSH ratio was also reduced to normal. Overall 94% of patients reported positively or got benefitted from Standardized Fenugreek seed extract dosing. No changes were observed in liver function test (LFT), kidney function test (KFT) and haemogram level. Conclusions: Present Study indicates that Standardized Fenugreek seed extract as Furostenolic Saponins (Furocyst) is very effective and safe in the management of Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome in women of reproductive age Group.

Introduction. This study was aimed at comparing diets, dietary patterns and lifestyle habits of women with polycystic ovary syndrome and controls in Croatia. Material and Methods. In this pilot, matched pair study, the participants were women of reproductive age: 12 with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and 16 healthy (between the ages of 18 and 41 years). The following data sets were collected and analysed: nutrient intake, dietary habits and physical activity, polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms, anthropometry and biochemical records. Results. The analyses of dietary habits showed a significantly (p=0.030) higher score for the controls (92.4?8.7 points) compared to the women with polycystic ovary syndrome (83.3?12.2 points). There was a significant correlation between the age and intake of total carbohydrates, and intake of plant protein in the women with polycystic ovary syndrome. A significant correlation was found between the age and total fats intake, as well as intake of different types of fats, and energy intake in the controls. The free time activity index showed a significant difference (t-test: p=0.043, ANOVA: p=0.004) in favour of the control group of women who were more active. Conclusions. This study has shown that Croatian women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to the controls have significantly poorer dietary habits characterised by high Glycaemic Index diets, they are less physically active during free time, and have positive significant correlation between the age and carbohydrate intake whereas the controls have positive significant correlation between the age and fat intake.
