Comparison of Three Ovulation Induction Therapies for Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Infertility

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of 3 ovulation induction therapies for treating infertility in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this retrospective study, we compared the success rates of 90 patients who underwent intrauterine insemination, who were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups: letrozole (LE) + urinary gonadotropin (human menopausal gonadotropin [HMG]), clomiphene (CC) + HMG, or HMG alone. Using ultrasound scanning, we examined the number of mature follicles, ovulation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, endometrial thickness, and blood flow. When compared to the other 2 groups, the LE + HMG group had significantly higher levels of mature follicles, ovulation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, estradiol, and luteinizing hormone on the day of the human chorionic gonadotropin injection and endometrial receptivity (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference between the 3 groups in terms of abortion rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, or adverse reactions. In this research, we found that infertility in patients with PCOS could be effectively treated by combining LE with HMG. This protocol increased ovulation, boosted fertility, and enhanced endometrial receptivity with no increase in adverse reactions. Therefore, it may be a useful clinical approach for inducing ovulation and treating infertility in patients with PCOS.
