Date: July 9, 2024

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands

On July 9, 2024, Dr. Fangfang Wang from Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University presented an oral report titled "Delayed Fetal Growth in Pregnant Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome using Serial Ultrasonographic Biometry" at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) 40th Annual Meeting.

The presentation focused on the critical issue of fetal growth retardation in pregnant women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Utilizing serial ultrasonographic biometry, the research team conducted a comprehensive analysis to investigate the potential impact of PCOS on fetal development.Polycystic ovary syndrome, a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, has been associated with various complications during pregnancy. This study aimed to shed light on the specific challenges faced by fetuses in such pregnancies, particularly concerning growth patterns and potential delays.The research presented at the ESHRE annual meeting highlighted key findings from the study, which employed serial ultrasonographic techniques to monitor fetal growth in PCOS. These insights could have significant implications for the management and care of pregnant women with PCOS, ultimately aiming to improve outcomes for both mothers and their unborn children. The ESHRE conference serves as a prestigious platform for researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field of reproductive health to share their latest findings and advancements. Zhejiang University's participation underscores its commitment to advancing knowledge and improving reproductive health outcomes globally.
