| Popis: | Background and Aims: Luteal phase deficiency (LPD) is a consequence of the inability of the corpus luteum (CL) to produce an adequate level of progesterone. This manifests clinically as a short menstrual cycle and infertility. Abnormal follicular development and inadequate steroidogenesis in lutein cells of the CL have been implicated in CL dysfunction and LPD. LPD and PCOS are independent disorders sharing a common pathophysiology. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of additional luteal phase support for patients with PCOS. Case report: A 34-year-old Indian lady with anovulation secondary to PCOS failed to get pregnant after 7 years of marriage. Her menses were irregular, and she had hirsutism. She was also overweight. (BMI 26.4 kg/m2) Her hormonal profile showed a reversal of the FSH/LH ratio of 2:1, and serum progesterone was low. ( |
