Stein-Leventhal Syndrome

Stein-Leventhal syndrome, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome, is a common endocrine disorder that affects the female reproductive system. This syndrome was first described by American gynecologists Joseph Stein and Myra Leventhal in 1935.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by the presence of several fluid-filled cystic formations on the ovaries. These formations can lead to menstrual irregularities, infertility and other health-harmful consequences.

Women suffering from Stein-Leventhal syndrome may also have increased levels of male hormones (androgens) in the body. This can lead to unwanted changes in appearance, such as increased facial and body hair, a deep voice, and acne.

In addition, women with Stein-Leventhal syndrome may have an increased risk of developing other diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Diagnosis of this syndrome is based on clinical manifestations, results of blood tests for hormones and ultrasound examination of the ovaries.

Treatment of Stein-Leventhal syndrome is aimed at eliminating symptoms and improving the quality of life of women. This may include lifestyle changes, drug therapy and surgery.

Stein-Leventhal syndrome is a common disease among women of reproductive age. Timely diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the quality of life of patients.

Stein-Lewenzahl syndrome

Stein-Lewenzahl syndrome is a rare hereditary disease of the female reproductive system that causes infertility in patients. In 60% of cases, the disease is observed in a double form and is characterized by two-deformed development of the genitals, internal genital organs and external genitalia, which leads to disability of the patient. Patients with this syndrome are characterized by the onset of menarche at the age of 14-16 years, and after that the onset of fertility is pronounced, but pregnancies themselves are often not possible, so patients are doomed to childlessness. Sheteno-Levenzahl syndrome includes several different conditions, each of which manifests itself differently and causes certain inconveniences. In all types, such diseases are characterized by a high level of endocrine disorders and increased sensitivity to sex hormones: progesterone, estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH). Typically, when symptoms appear, swelling forms on the surface of the labia, on which a number of additional folds form over time. This swelling is usually accompanied by a fluid imbalance. Removing the ovaries makes all the symptoms of the disease less obvious, but the patient's body shape will change over the years and aging will appear. Female patients develop impaired body growth and increased appetite.
