Cureus. 2024 Jan 19;16(1):e52597. doi: 10.7759/cureus.52597. eCollection 2024 Jan.

Abstract

A 33-year-old woman with secondary infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is profiled in this case report. In 2020, an in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection pregnancy resulted in a missed abortion, which is part of the patient's medical history. In order to enhance fertility outcomes, this case report seeks to give an overall perspective on the treatment and medical care strategy for people with PCOS and previous cases of infertility. One of the physical characteristics of PCOS, bilateral polycystic ovaries, was seen in the patient. Treatments included long-term gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment, medications, and optimizing endometrial preparation. The patient was regularly monitored with routine ultrasound evaluations, hormone profiling, and psychological support. For patients with PCOS and secondary infertility, the case report emphasizes the value of individualized treatment strategies, close monitoring, and supportive care to enhance pregnancy outcomes. Clinicians handling situations similar to this one will greatly benefit from the conclusions and treatment plans offered in this case study, which emphasizes the need for a multifaceted strategy to deal with the complexity of PCOS-related infertility.
