Oocyte abnormalities can be caused by a variety of genetic factors affecting different stages in meiosis. [1] Moreover, ageing is associated with oocyte abnormalities since higher maternal age is associated with oocytes with a reduced gene expression of spindle assembly checkpoints which are important in maintaining stability in the genome.
In children, bone maturation and puberty are severely delayed. In adults, ovulation is impeded and infertility is common. [7] [8] Mental deterioration is common. Neurological impairment may be mild, with reduced muscle tone and motor coordination, or so severe that the person cannot stand or walk.
A study of a population of French women from 1670 and 1789 shows that those who married at age 20–24 had 7.0 children on average and 3.7% remained childless. Women who married at age 25–29 years had a mean of 5.7 children and 5.0% remained childless. Women who married at 30–34 years had a mean of 4.0 children and 8.2% remained childless. [20]
Of the 85% of identified infertility, 25% are due to disordered ovulation (of which 70% of the cases are due to polycystic ovarian syndrome). [2] Tubal infertility, in which there is a structural problem with the fallopian tubes is responsible for 11-67% of infertility in women of child bearing age, with the large range in prevalence due to ...
In PCOS patients with overweight or obesity, weight loss is first line treatment. Studies show a reduction in weight as little of 5% by caloric restriction and increased physical activity can re-establish spontaneously ovulation and improve response to ovulation induction therapy if initiated.

Approximately 1% of mammalian follicles in ovaries undergo ovulation and the remaining 99% of follicles go through follicular atresia as they cycle through the growth phases. In summary, follicular atresia is a process that leads to the follicular loss and loss of oocytes, and any disturbance or loss of functionality of this process can lead to ...
Ovulation is an important part of the menstrual cycle in female vertebrates where the egg cells are released from the ovaries as part of the ovarian cycle. In female humans ovulation typically occurs near the midpoint in the menstrual cycle and after the follicular phase. Ovulation is stimulated by an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH).
