[Diagnosis and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women]

In 32 women with signs of androgenization, menstrual disturbances and distinct elevated values of 17-KS, DHEA, pregnantriole, testosterone and very reduced level of 17-OHCS congenital adrenal hyperplasia was diagnosed which established 12.5% individuals with intersexualism. The method of conservative or/and operative treatment and the prognosis were discussed.

[Surgical treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. B. Postoperative examinations]

After the wedge resection of the ovaries the authors obtained the normal menses in 100%, the reduction of total testosterone in blood of 41.8% and of 17-KS in urine of 20%, an increase of fertility of 62.5% and in hirsutism a correction only of 12%, the stopping of 12% and no correction of 76%. The authors conclude that the cause of the healing or of the correction is placed in the resection of 3/4 of the changed ovaries with cysts follicles with distinct thecal layer what is accompanied by the reduction of testosterone on average of 41.8%. On contrary a weak correction in hirsutism has the explanation that the existent hirsutism is supported even by the normal level of testosterone in organism.

[Surgical treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. A. Preoperative examinations]

The aim to study was the determination the effect of operative treatment of 31 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Before the operation primarily the authors confirmed at the patients the presence of menstrual abnormalities in 96.8%, of infertility in 100%, of hirsutism I. in 9.7%, II. in 61.8%, III. in 29% and the average level of 17-ketosteroids 16.0 +/- 6.9, of DHEA 3.7 +/- 1.5 mg and of estrogens 39.0 +/- 15.1 mcg in 24 urine, of total testosterone 0.98 +/- 0.24, of FSH 3.4 +/- 1.5, of LH 44 +/- 2.4, of prolactin 11.4 +/- 5.4 and of estradiol 0.32 +/- 0.35 ng/ml in blood. On the basis of clinical, hormonal or/and ultrasonographic examinations the diagnosis of the polycystic ovarian disease was performed.
