New Research suggesting DHEA treatment during pregnancy can reduce the risk of miscarriage for women with low oestrogen levels

4 January 2024
New research has been published on DHEA treatment during pregnancy and risk of miscarriage for women with low oestrogen levels. This study is the first of its kind to show DHEA supplementation effectively increased estradiol levels and reduced miscarriage rates in pregnancies with low serum estradiol. Low estradiol levels could serve as a measurable biomarker for targeted RRM therapy in recurrent miscarriage.

Research Updates: Surgical Management of Endometriosis

17 February 2025
Dr. Patrick Yeung presents updates on surgical management of Endometriosis and results of their new paper, a prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of optimal excision surgery for endometriosis in reducing repeat surgery rates compared to historical data from ablation procedures, with the cohort of patients showing a notably low repeat surgery rate of 2.5% (15 out of 620 patients) following optimal excision, contrasting with suggested historical rates of 40-60% for ablation (Bozdağ 2015). The team also looked at the relationship between hormonal suppression use before surgery and the stage of endometriosis, finding no significant correlation, suggesting that hormonal suppression may not prevent disease progression.
