Assessment of Obese and Non-Obese Impacts on Fertility Treatments in Adolescence Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is considered as one of the important gynaecological endocrine disorders, usually affects 6-10% of the women population. The present work described the effect of obese and non-obese on fertility treatment practices in polycystic ovary syndrome affected women populations. Materials and Method: About 105 PCOS affected women patients (18-41 years old) along with control who had regularly visited the hospital for fertility treatment were selected for the present study and clinical experiment was performed. The PCOS affected population was classified into two groups based on their Body Mass Index (BMI) as obese and non-obese PCOS affected groups and the clinical and biochemical aspects were studied. Results: There was a significantly higher rate of BMI was noticed in obese PCOS patients (29.32±0.40) than non-obese PCOS (21.75±0.36) and control group (21.95±0.97). The level of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) was found to be high in the non-obese PCOS group than the obese PCOS while a decreased rate of FSH noticed was more in obese PCOS group than non-obese group. The frequency of positive pregnancy was significantly high in obese groups (66.7%) than non-obese group with IVF treatment. Conclusion: It is concluded that higher level of BMI and LH was noticed in PCOS groups compared to non-obese and a decreased rate of FSH was recorded in PCOS patients. The results of the present investigation confirm that the impact of obesity and non-obesity on PCOS women fertility treatment showed higher pregnancy rates in women compared with normal BMI. Of the two groups tested, a significantly higher per cent of pregnancy was recorded with obese PCOS than non-obese PCOS patients.
