Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) on ovarian morphology and immunity in obese polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Fifty volunteer obese women diagnosed as having PCOS and their age ranged between 20 to 35 years old, were participated in this study, they were selected from the Outpatient Clinic of Gynecology of Al Mataria Teaching Hospital. They were randomly assigned into two groups (A&B) equal in numbers: group (A) study group: received PEMF three times per week for 12 weeks in addition to diet therapy, and group (B): control group: followed diet therapy only as in group (A). Evaluations of both groups (A&B) were done before starting and after the end of the study through measuring ovarian volume, their reproductive hormones [(Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), and LH/FSH ratio) and white blood cells (WBC) and its types, immunoglobulin M (IgM) and anthropometric measurements [weight, body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR), waist height ratio (WHtR)] and PCOS quality of life questionnaire (PCOSQ). The results of this study showed a statistically significant differences (P<0.05) in ovarian volumes, FSH, LH/FSH ratio, WBC and PCOSQ in addition to anthropometric measurements within each group. Comparison between both groups (A&B) before starting the study reveals that there was a statistically non-significant difference (P>0.05) between them
