Overcoming PCOS-Related Infertility by Using In Vitro Maturation Approach: A Case Report

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalance leading to metabolic and reproductive dysregulations. This case report revolves around a 30-year-old husband and his 27-year-old partner. The male partner had normozoospermia, and the female spouse had PCOS, according to the couple's diagnostic evaluations. The female patient received ovarian stimulation specifically to assist with PCOS, and the retrieved oocytes were then matured in vitro. After intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fertilization and embryonic development were successful. Treatment of PCOS-related infertility presents many challenges, and in vitro maturation (IVM) and its potential as an effective assisted fertility method are discussed. To optimize treatment outcomes, the conclusion shows the importance of IVM and other assisted reproductive techniques for infertility. It also focuses on the necessary continuous research and clinical experience. Clinical pregnancy was confirmed by measuring serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels followed by ultrasound sonography (USG), which showed a normal growth rate of the fetus.
