Disease relevance of Oligomenorrhea

 

High impact information on Oligomenorrhea

  • Seven of the 10 postpubertal, premenopausal women (70 percent) had oligomenorrhea, and 5 (50 percent) had low serum estradiol concentrations [6].
  • We conclude that there is familial aggregation of hyperandrogenemia (with or without oligomenorrhea) in PCOS kindreds [7].
  • Ovarian function and metabolic factors in women with oligomenorrhea treated with metformin in a randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial [8].
  • A diagnosis of PCOS was based on 1) oligomenorrhea, 2) hyperandrogenism (biochemical or clinical), and 3) exclusion of other related disorders [9].
  • Other than a tendency toward a larger MOV, a higher incidence of oligomenorrhea, obesity, and frequency of neurological disorders, recovery of the reproductive axis after GnRH analog therapy was not markedly different in HH compared to IPP [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Oligomenorrhea

 

Biological context of Oligomenorrhea

 

Anatomical context of Oligomenorrhea

  • On the basis of the patient's hormonal status and studies of the literature, the author advances the hypothesis of a defect in the steroid receptor proteins in the congenitally somewhat deformed uterus, in explanation of these patients' oligomenorrhea [19].
