Research Progress on the Evaluation of Ovarian Reserve
SU Xian-zhi
Abstract：Ovarian reserve refers to the number and quality of follicles raised in the female ovaries,which reflects the fertility potential of women.Premature ovarian failure (POF) is one of the most important causes of infertility,which is defined as the ovarian dysfunction in women before the age of 40,accompanied by perimenopausal syndrome,infertility,low level of estrogen and high levels of gonadotropins,etc..If the ovarian reserve can be correctly evaluated in the early stage of POF,and the POF patients can be treated timely,POF can be delayed.The perimenopausal symptoms can be reduced,and the possibility of pregnancy increased.In addition,the early and accurate evaluation of ovarian reserve is essential to forecast the fertility potential and to guide the drug regimen.Recently,there is a dispute over the estimate of ovarian reserve.Most researchers believe that for the limitation of single indicator for the evaluation of ovarian reserve,the multi-indicator combination is often preferred.The article summarizes the research progress on the evaluation of ovarian reserve,which provides us a reference for the evaluation of ovarian reserve,the treatment and study of POF,and for those POF patients to get timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
