Study of Some Biochemical and Physiological Parameters of Women with Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS) Before and After Treatment Undergoing the Intrauterine Injection Program (IUI)

Abstract

This study was performed on a sample of 25 women who were subjected to intrauterine injection program. These women patients were suffering from polycystic ovaries and attending the Fertility Center at Al-Sadr Medical Hospital in Najaf Governorate, for the period between December 2020 and March 2021. Blood serum was withdrawn before and after the corresponding treatment to measure the study parameters including testosterone, prolactin, FSH, LH, cholesterol, triglycerides and interleukin-17 levels. Results showed a significant reduction in the levels of testosterone, prolactin, LH, cholesterol, triglyceride and interleukin-17 at p < 0.05 after intrauterine injection treatment in comparison with that recorded before treatment as well as in control group. Although FSH level was lower after the treatment, results were non-significant at p < 0.05.
