Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fertility disorders can arise from various factors affecting the testis and ovary. Genetic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and environmental influences are significant contributors. Comprehensive diagnoses involve clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment options may include hormonal therapies, surgical interventions, or assisted reproductive technologies. Additionally, lifestyle changes, such as diet and stress management, can play a crucial role in improving fertility. Research continues to explore new therapeutic approaches and potential biomarkers for the early detection of reproductive ageing and reproductive pathologies. Epigenetics and genetic counselling may offer insights for affected individuals. Understanding the underlying causes of fertility disorders in the testis and ovary is essential for effective management. Multidisciplinary approaches enhance therapeutic strategies and assisted reproductive technology outcomes, such as in vitro fertilization rates. Therefore, we kindly invite you to contribute to our interesting Special Issue with original articles and reviews from the research fields of medicine, veterinary medicine, basic science, and biology.
