Background and Objectives: PCOS is a health problem that effect a wide range of women of childbearing age and causing infertility all over the world. At any age, PCOS can be distressing to women, especially during the reproductive years. To find the Association between polycystic ovarian disease and endometrial thickness on ultrasonography in the infertile females of Lahore.
METHODOLOGY: A total of 142 Pelvic Ultrasounds of female patients were included in the study. Their age range from 18 years to 60 years. All of these cases of PCOS were reported during study. This study was carried out in Radiology Department of Services Hospital and Ultrasound Clinic Green Town, Lahore. A Convenient sampling technique was adopted.
RESULTS: Data analysis showed that the mean age of 142 patients was 31.49 and the S.D was 9.363. Out of total number of 142 patients, 39(27.5%) were suffering from PCOS and 103 (72.5%) with no PCOS. Out of 142 patients 44 had <0.7mm Endometrial Thickness in which 15 had PCOS and 98 patients had > 0.7mm Endometrial Thickness in which 24 were with PCOS.
CONCLUSION: PCOS is an emerging disease and causing infertility in Pakistan. We could not find any association between PCOS and Endometrial thickness.
