Abstract
Ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is one of the most common endocrine diseases among women of reproductive age, estimated to affect 3-15% of all women. The basic criteria for PCOS revolve around the presence or absence of PCOS. Features of hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovary syndrome manifestations (PCOM) on ultrasound evaluation. Notably, all organizations require the exclusion of other endocrine disorders, which can lead to a PCOS-like phenotypic presentation. This study was conducted to find out the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among women attending the targeted clinics in Brak Al-Shati area according to Rotterdam criteria and to know its sources. The study included 442 infertile women; their ages ranged between 18-49 years, and 120 women were diagnosed with PCOS. The data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 25 program. The results showed an increase in the number of women with PCOS among the study population with a prevalence of 3.24%, and that the percentage of primary infertility in women with PCOS was higher than that of secondary infertility, where the percentages constituted 30% and 24%, respectively, and there were significant differences between waist circumference And the hip circumference between healthy people and those with the syndrome is due to abdominal or central visceral obesity as well as a direct relationship between age and PCOS and an inverse relationship between hypertrichosis and the syndrome. This study concluded that there is an increase in the number of women with the syndrome, and thus an increase in the prevalence of PCOS over the years, and this may be due to the presence of other sources of infection other than genetics.
