Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is most common heterogeneous problem affecting seriously women’s lives in their fertile age group. Obesity, infertility, insulin resistance, increased type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are risk factors frequently present with PCOS. Among these, anovulation infertility is one of the most alarming situation. Obesity also stands out as it has reached its epidemic proportions. Objective: The objective of this study was sonographic correlation of PCOS with obesity by measuring subcutaneous fat at suprapubic region. Material and methods: A total 138 sample size was selected according to Prevalence of PCOS based on AE- PCOS Society. Both 69 Patients with PCOS and 69 without PCOS were included. Toshiba Xario machine was used at Gosh-e-Shifa hospital, Lahore. Both transvaginal and transabdominal (linear and convex) were used. Specific scanning protocols were used. Results: The 69 (50%), individuals who were diagnosed with PCOS, few of them had previous history of PCOS. Total 10 (14.4%) patients out of 69 patients had prior history of PCOS. The other 69 (50%) patients are normal. The clinical symptoms of patients and sonographic criteria for PCO collectively used to diagnose PCOS and normal patients. Then suprapubic subcutaneous fat was measured. The mean of measurements was taken and correlated the both type of individuals with their corresponding fat thickness. The result showed that the patients with PCOS had more subcutaneous fat thickness comparatively to subcutaneous fat thickness of normal patients. The patients with PCOS showed more subcutaneous fat thickness at suprapubic region than normal patients .This study concluded that PCOS and suprapubic subcutaneous fat thickness are correlated with each other.
