Stein-Leventhal syndrome In the UK, up to 33% of women have polycystic ovaries (i.e. 10 or more follicles per ovary detected on ultrasound) (1). Of these, an estimated 33% have polycystic ovarian syndrome, generally defined in the UK as polycystic ovaries together with one or more characteristic features (hirsutism, acne, male-pattern baldness, amenorrhoea or oligomenorrhoea, or raised serum concentrations of testosterone and/or luetinising hormone) (2,3). In polycystic ovarian syndrome the associated metabolic abnormalities (abnormal serum lipid concentrations and insulin resistance) also put some women at an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus (4).

Synonyme : ovaires polykystiques (syndrome des), dysmorphie ovarienne, ovarite sclérokystique, polykystose ovarienne, dysmorphie de type I, ovaires micropolykystiques (syndrome des). Affection chronique et hétérogène de la femme jeune se caractérisant par l'association d'une obésité (poids excessif), d'un hirsutisme (pilosité abondante), de stérilité, de troubles des règles à type, entre autres, d'absence et d'augmentation de volume des ovaires qui sont nacrés, fibreux (durs, ayant perdu leur élasticité) avec des kystes. Causes Pour l'instant l'origine de cette pathologie n'est pas connue avec précision. Il semble s'agir d'un dysfonctionnement (mauvais fonctionnement) de l'hypophyse et de l'hypothalamus et de l'interaction de l'un sur l'autre (axe hypothalamo-hypophysaire). Pour les spécialistes on observe une augmentation fixe de la sécrétion de lutéostimuline (LH) et la suppression relative de la sécrétion de folliculostimuline FSH). Ces troubles sont à l'origine d'un fonctionnement anarchique des ovaires et plus précisément des follicules ovariens. Les follicules ovariens ou de De Graff sont des cavités liquidiennes situées à l'intérieur de l'ovaire où se développe l'ovule. Leur rupture correspond à la sortie (ponte) de l'ovule.

POLYCYSTIC SYNDROME (Stein-Leventhal Syndrome) BASIC INFORMATION "For Informational Use Only" For more detailed information contact your health care provider about options that may be available for your specific situation. DESCRIPTION Ovary enlargement from many small cysts. The hormonal regulation of the ovary malfunctions resulting in a reduction or absence of ovulation (the monthly release of the egg from the ovary). Women with this problem are often infertile. Irregular menstrual bleeding resulting in periods of light flow along with heavy flow. Increased time between periods, often up to several months. Increased hair growth on the face, arms, legs and from pubic area to navel. Higher energy level. Obesity. Acne. CAUSES An imbalance between the pituitary gonadotropin lutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), resulting in a lack of ovulation and an increased testosterone production. RISK INCREASES WITH Endometrial hypoplasia or carcinoma. Obesity High blood pressure.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies in women of reproductive age. According to the initial description by Stein and Leventhal in 1935, the diagnosis of PCOS was based on the clinical symptoms (oligo/amneorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, and obesity) in the presence of histologically verified polycystic ovaries. Presently, ovarian morphology can easily be identified by ultrasound, which has revealed that PCOS is not only linked to the "classic Stein-Leventhal syndrome", but women with polycystic ovaries exhibit a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. PCOS account for 75% of women with anovulatory infertility, 30% to 49% of secondary amenorrhea, and 85% to 90% of women with oligomenorrhea. The majority of patients with PCOS are hirsute. Obesity is also a frequent finding among women with PCOS. 30 to 60% of PCOS patients are overweighted. Description of the disease Material and Methods Results Discussion ...

McKesson Clinical Reference Systems: Women's Health Advisor 2002.2 Spanish version Illustration Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Stein-Leventhal Syndrome) What is polycystic ovary syndrome? Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder in which many benign cysts form on the ovaries under a thick, white covering. It is most common in women under 30 years old. The ovaries are glands located on either side of the uterus (womb) in a woman's lower abdomen. The ovaries produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. Before menopause, they also produce eggs. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that result from ovulation cycles. Many ovarian cysts go away without treatment. The most common cysts are just enlargements of normal egg follicles. This disorder has also been called Stein-Leventhal syndrome. How does it occur? Polycystic ovary syndrome is caused by an abnormal production of two hormones by the pituitary gland in the brain. These two hormones are LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone). Imbalance of these hormones prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg each month. The ovaries produce more of the male hormone testosterone. They continue to produce estrogen but not progesterone. What are the symptoms?
