Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS in fertile
and infertile women in Minia Governorate, Egypt.
Patients & Methods: 1450 patients visiting outpatients' clinics of Minia Maternity University Hospital were classified into two groups; group (I), included 620 fertile women
and group (II) included 830 infertile women. All patients were searched for ovulatory
disorders and manifestations of hyperandrogenism. Trans-vaginal ultrasound was done
for all patients. Free testosterone (free T) was done only for patients with hyperandrogenism (336).
Results: The prevalence of PCOS was 27.4%. The prevalence was 14% and 37.5% in
fertile and infertile women respectively. The percentages of ovulatory disorder, hirsutism
and PCO in infertile patients with POCS were 73.3%, 60.4% and 79.4% respectively.
There was significant correlation between prevalence of PCOS and increased BMI
(r=0.221 and P = 0.001).
Conclusions: PCOS represents a major health and reproductive problems in women of
