Abstract
Background: Late reproductive age is accompanied by a diminished ovarian reserve and a poor ovarian response as a result of physiological maturation and ovarian failure, and is a difficult problem in achieving pregnancy with one's own genetic material. Folliculogenesis of the active reproductive period is associated with sufficient androgen concentrations, which has been repeatedly shown in a model of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The choice of the optimal method of treating infertility in late reproductive age women with androgen deficiency in the assisted reproductive technology program is currently the most discussed issue. Case report: The paper describes a clinical case of using combined androgen priming and metabolic therapy to improve folliculogenesis and embryogenesis in the in vitro fertilization program - intracytoplasmic sperm injection in a late reproductive age patient with androgen deficiency. Conclusion: The combined approach to treating infertility in women of late reproductive age demonstrates a better clinical effect than to using androgen priming only.
