According to the latest systematic review studies, the prevalence of this syndrome is estimated at 3% according to the definition provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and at 7% according to the definition provided by Rotterdam in Iran [3]. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most leading cause of ovulation disorders and one of the most important causes of infertility [4]. Infertility is considered as one of the most common problems in human societies which has affected between 60 and 80 million couples worldwide according to the World Health Organization reports [5]. e prevalence of infertility in Iran is reported to be about 7.88% [2, 5]. Polycystic ovary syndrome can increase androgen level (sings such as acne, hirsutism, and alopecia) and non- ovulatory characteristics (such as oligomenorrhea, amen- orrhea, or infertility) [2]. Diagnostic criteria for this syndrome include lack of ovulation, clinical or laboratory hyperandrogenism, or observation of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound [6].
