LUTEINIZED UNRUPTURED FOLLICLE SYNDROME AND INFERTILITY / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Most of the luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome(LUFS)happens to women with menstrual disorders and is one of the important factors in "unexplained infertility". The mechanism of LUFS is still unknown. Using classic criteria, such as basal body temperature, serum progesterone, endomtrium biopsy and crystals of cervical mucous one can not distinguish the LUFS cycles from the ovulatory ones. There were low reports in our country in this aspect. In the reproductive endocrinology and infertility outpatient department we have found 2 cases of LUFS through ultrasound and laboratory findings. In this article, the pathophysiologic mechanism of this sydrome, its diagnostic method and index are discussed, and some problems concerning fertility and sterility are proposed.
