Summary

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Women with this syndrome may have infrequent menstrual periods or amenorrhea and excess androgen levels. The ovaries develop numerous small follicles and fail to ovulate on a regular basis, with subsequent subfertility in those women that wish to conceive. Recent research stated that interventions aiming to improve QoL among infertile women with PCOS should focus on alleviating infertility-related stress, especially among women with high BMI. So, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ultrasound cavitation combined with aerobic exercise on menstrual irregularity and infertility related stress in women having PCOS.

Conditions

• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) of Bilateral Ovaries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	ultrasound cavitation in addition to aerobic ex	Ultrasonic cavitation was turned on, the program of cavitation 40 kHz was chosen, the time was adjusted at 30 minutes. The cavitational head was moved very slowly on each abdominal segment in a small circular movement for 5 minutes. After finishing the focused ultrasound of the 6 segments of the abdomen, the skin was cleaned with cotton. in addition to that the patients will receive aerobic exercises for 40 minutes.
OTHER	aerobic exercises.	the patients will do aerobic training for 40 minutes on a bicycle ergometer.
