Article Abstract

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome(PMDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of sex development characterized by the presence of Müllerian duct derived structures in a normally virilized, genotypical (46, XY) and phenotypical male. Here we describe a case of a couple who presented as primary subfertility with azoospermia and diagnosed as PMDS (Bilateral testis in right inguinal canal with associated ring inguinal hernia and persistent of mullerian duct derivatives in the form of rudimentary uterus and fallopian tubes) and planned for Intrauterine insemination with donor semen. PMDS is rare disease and in developing countries like Nepal, because of unaware of the disease condition and lack of proper health care facilities, such cases are diagnosed later in adult males. Therefore, this case highlights the importance of awareness and knowledge for early detection and treatment of such conditions to conserve fertility and prevent malignancy of testis and other remnant mullerian structures.

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a genetic disorder. It consists of Müllerian duct remains due to improper anti-Müllerian hormone. Early life presentation is often associated with undescended testes or inguinal hernias.

Disorders of sex development or hermaphroditism are a condition associated with a discrepancy between genetic, gonadal, and phenotypic sex. Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism. Typical features are cryptorchidism and the presence of underdeveloped fallopian tubes, uterus or upper vagina in a male with karyotype 46, XY.

Objective: This study systematically assess the potential impact of various environmental pollutants as chemical, airborne, and heavy metal on ovarian function in women, focusing on ovarian reserve such as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) as well as hormone levels like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2). By reviewing epidemiological evidence, this research aims to elucidate the reproductive toxicity of these pollutants and provide scientific support for public health policy to protect reproductive health in women of childbearing age.

Methods: Following the PRISMA-P guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to include all relevant studies up to July 30, 2024.

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare disorder of sex development in 46,XY individuals, characterized by the presence of Müllerian duct structures and typically associated with cryptorchidism and an elevated risk of testicular malignancy. Germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) is a known precursor to testicular germ cell tumors, but the earlier stage of pre-GCNIS remains poorly characterized, particularly in the context of PMDS. We report the first known case of pre-GCNIS identified in a patient with PMDS.

Menstrual irregularities and abnormal uterine bleeding have been increasingly reported following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, likely due to viral-induced endocrine disruption and immune dysregulation. A woman in her late 30s, with previously regular menses, developed persistent abnormal uterine bleeding after recovering from coronavirus disease 2019. Lab work-up over the next 2 years demonstrated high follicle-stimulating hormone, low anti-Müllerian hormone, low estrogen, and borderline antinuclear antibody titers.
