Abstract
Objective: To measure the outcome of age on ovarian and uterine morphology in primary infertile women with
polycystic ovaries.
Methods: The observational cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2009 to March 2010, and the
subjects were recruited from Ziauddin Hospital, Nazimabad, Karachi. The primary infertile subjects with polycystic
ovaries were subdivided into two age groups:20-30 years (group I), and 31-40 years (group II). Both groups had equal
number of subjects. The ovarian volume, follicles count and size, uterine area and endometrial thickness were
determined by transabdominal and transvaginal scans. Shapiro-Wilk's test and Mann-Whitney test were applied,
with p<0.05 being significant.
