Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the difference between the effect of Ultrasound Cavitation and Elctroacupuncture on sex hormones in obese infertile patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome …………………………………………………………………… BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that occurs in 6 - 10% of women at the reproductive age. It is associated with an-ovulation, infertility, hyperandrogenism, obesity and insulin resistance. Endocrine characteristics of PCOS are elevated serum concentrations of androgens and Luteinizing hormone (LH) and decreased concentrations of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Ultrasound cavitation is the method in handling Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (, especially in destroying subcutaneous fat and shaping a particular part of the body. As one of the non-surgical correction method, UC is preferred for lowering the risk of complications due to obesity. UC reported a greater decrease of the WHR, suggesting a valuable modification of fat distribution pattern, especially at the abdominal level. It improves rates of ovulation, provides higher incidence of regular menstrual cycles and lower levels of total testosterone. Acupuncture is a treatment method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Electroacupuncture promotes follicle development and corrects reproductive endocrine dysfunction in ovaries by regulating the functions of the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovaries
