An interventional study of Transvaginal Shear Wave Elastography in Ovarian Reserve Markers, Ovarian Function and Infertility, sponsored by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-20.

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between ovarian stromal stiffness measured by transvaginal shear wave elastography (SWE) and conventional hormonal and ultrasonographic parameters of ovarian reserve. Reproductive-aged female patients will be evaluated to determine whether tissue elasticity provided by SWE correlates with ovarian function markers such as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), and ovarian volume.
Transvaginal ultrasound combined with shear wave elastography will be performed on all participants. Ovarian stromal stiffness values (measured in kilopascals or meters per second) will be correlated with basal serum hormone levels (AMH, FSH, LH, Estradiol) and ultrasonographic ovarian reserve criteria (antral follicle count and total ovarian volume).
2,085 studies on the registry are indexed under Infertility; 357 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is below the median of 135 across 1,412 interventional studies indexed under Infertility.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
