    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Gynecology
    • Infertility Research

    Background:

    • Primary amenorrhea is a condition where menstruation has not started by age 15.
    • Resistant ovary syndrome (ROS) is a rare cause of amenorrhea characterized by elevated gonadotropins (FSH and LH) and the presence of primordial follicles in the ovaries.
    • Patients with ROS often present with infertility and menopausal symptoms despite their young age.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case study of a patient diagnosed with resistant ovary syndrome.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention in treating resistant ovary syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case description of a patient with primary amenorrhea.
    • Hormonal level assessment (FSH and LH).
    • Ovarian tissue examination.
    • Surgical intervention: ovarian wedge resection.

    Main Results:

    • The patient presented with primary amenorrhea, elevated FSH and LH levels, and ovaries with numerous primary follicles, consistent with resistant ovary syndrome.
    • Following ovarian wedge resection, the patient experienced the onset of menstruation.

    Conclusions:

    • Ovarian wedge resection may be an effective treatment for inducing menstruation in patients with resistant ovary syndrome.
    • This case highlights a potential therapeutic approach for a challenging endocrine disorder affecting reproductive function.
