Abstract

Background: The ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA measured by ultrasound in POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) women is strongly related to pathologic endometrial thickness, but there is no consensus on the relation between serum LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH) and either of these factors: pathologic ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA and BODY MASS INDEX (BMI).Materials and Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, three hundred fifty infertile PCOS women were involved in this research. An endometrial biopsy was taken by using a pipelle instrument, regardless of menstrual cycle’s day and all samples were reported by the same pathologist. Basal serum LH level was compared between two subgroups (hyperplasia and non-hyperplasia). The intended population was divided into three groups according to BMI and basal serum LH, later on the comparison was made in three groups. Chi-square test was applied to compare nominal variables between groups. Mann-Whitney U, and one way ANOVA tests were used to compare means on the basis of the result of normality test.Results: The frequency of ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA was 2.6%. Endometrial thickness in the patients with ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA was significantly higher than that of a normal endometrium (10.78 ± 3.70 vs. 7.90 ± 2.86 respectively, P=0.020). There was no relation between ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA and serum LH (P=0.600). The ANOVA test showed serum LH levels were not the same among three BMI groups (P=0.007). Post hoc test was also performed. It showed that the LH level in normal BMI group was significantly higher than those of other groups (P=0.005 and P=0.004), but there was no statistical difference between overweight and obese groups (P=0.8). We found no relationship between BMI and endometrial thickness in PCOS patients (P=0.6).Conclusion: Sonographic endometrial stripe thickness is predictive for ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA in PCOS women. We could not find out any relationship between serum LH level and BMI with endometrial thickness in PCOS patients. However, our study confirmed a diverse relationship between serum LH level and BMI in PCOS patients.
