Can DHEA Supplementation Improve IVF Outcomes In Patients With Normal Ovarian Function?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been found to improve pregnancy rates in patients with diminished ovarian reserve. However, the question of whether older patients with normal ovarian reserve will also benefit from DHEA supplementation, has not been addressed. A recent study conducted at the University of Bari School of Medicine in Italy suggests that miscarriage rates are lower and IVF pregnancy rates are higher in patients treated with DHEA supplements before undergoing IVF treatment.
