Ovarian Reserve in Intensive Care Patients

Gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nephrological, cardiac, neurologic and psychological effects in critically ill patients followed in the intensive care unit have been shown in the literature. However, the effects on ovarian reserve in these patients have not been sufficiently investigated and studies investigating this issue are limited in the literature. The synthesis, release frequency and amplitude of reproductive hormones change under stress. In addition, changes in ovarian homeostasis affect ovarian reserve. The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian reserve in critically ill patients followed up in the intensive care unit.
