Revisiting Ovarian Reserve Evaluation with Focus on Infertility

Abstract

The current trends to postpone motherhood and the increase in demand for assistance in reproductive medicine highlight the need for seeking guidelines for the establishment of individualized treatment protocols. Although the ability to assess the functional ovarian reserve remains limited, the tests that are currently available provide guidance for assistance to infertile couples and ease the emotional burden of a process whose results are still lagging behind. In this paper, we will revisit literature and highlight current tests available for assessing functional ovarian reserve, intending to embase propaedeutic strategies and their interpretation in order to have reproductive success.
