Abstract
Sixty samples of blood were collected from women who attended fertility clinic were collected from January to August 2015 and they were analyzed for fertility hormone such as luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) using standard methods. Thirty of the samples were collected from women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) while the remaining thirty samples serve as control. The results obtained from women with PCOS revealed mean values of luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicular Stimulating Hormone as 22.58 ± 2.781miu/ml and 8.570 ± 1.149 miu/ml; respectively while the control were 9.080 ± 0.720 miu/ml and 5.643 ± 0.720miu/ml respectively. From the results, levels of LH were higher than FSH and the values obtained from the PCOS group were significantly higher than those of control. The statistical analysis showed that the variation in the parameters determined were statistically significant (p < 0.05) as determined by one way analysis of variance. This shows that elevation in fertility hormones do occur in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
