This study was designed to allow inpatient and outpatient evaluation of women with a variety of reproductive and endocrine-related disorders for purposes of research and physician education.
The evaluations may include ultrasound examinations, blood, saliva, and/or urine samples. In some cases, specific laboratory or X-ray studies will be performed to confirm the diagnosis or assist in the treatment of the patient. These additional tests will be conducted within the guidelines of current gynecologic practice. In some cases, the patient will receive medical or surgical treatment for their disorder.
The purpose of this study is to provide an opportunity for physicians to evaluate women with medical conditions of reproduction. These evaluations and treatments will support clinical training and research for the accredited training program in reproductive endocrinology at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).<TAB>

Ages Eligible for Study: | 1 Year to 85 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
- Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects aged 1-85 with reproductive endocrine related conditions.
- Young women, women of reproductive age, and older women are the focus of this protocol.
- Girls with reproductive disorders under the age of 18 will be studied and their assent will be obtained if possible along with the consent of their parent/guardian.
- Reproductive disorders of men will be included.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant women over 23 weeks will be excluded, since there are no on-campus prenatal or neonatal facilities. If we see patients in consultation after 23 weeks, as is our practice, we will provide a report to the referring PI on that protocol as well as the patient's personal obstetrician. We do not provide long term obstetrical care.
- Patients specifically requesting in vitro fertilization will not be considered candidates and will not be seen under this protocol. These patients may be seen for a consultation, but will be referred for these services outside of the NIH.
- Pregnant patients requiring fetal surgery will be excluded since there are no on-campus neonatal facilities.
