The prevalence of uterine anomalies in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: A retrospective study in a tertiary center in Southeastern Turkey
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of uterine anomalies in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) admitted to our tertiary hospital in Southeastern Turkey. Materials and Methods: The files of 3033 patients with infertility who presented to the infertility polyclinics were retrospectively analyzed, and uterine anomalies were detected in 131 patients. Seven hundred ten of these patients were evaluated as having PCOS, 55 of whom had uterine anomalies. Patients with PCOS were also divided into two subgroups as those with primary and secondary infertility. Results: Of the 3033 patients with infertility who were evaluated, 57 (8%) of 710 infertile patients with PCOS, and 74 (3%) of 2323 non-PCOS patients with infertility had uterine anomalies. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (p<0.001), and no significant difference was found between the primary and secondary infertile PCOS subgroups (p=0.3). Septate uteri and arcuate uteri had a high prevalence in the PCOS group, and no t-shaped or hypoplastic uteruses were observed in this group. Conclusion: To or knowledge, this is the first study in our region to examine the relation between PCOS and Müllerian anomalies. We demonstrated uterine anomalies and their prevalence in patients with infertility. A more careful examination is required in order to determine the incidence of uterine anomalies in patients with PCOS.
