INTRODUCTION
Stein-Leventhal syndrome, Polycystic ovarian
syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine
disorder in females. Hyper vascularized and enlarged
ovaries are noted in PCOs. It is related to obesity,
amenorrhea/ oligo menorrhea, hirsutism, and acne.
PCOS produce symptoms in only 10% of females. Its
principal features include irregular mensuration,
infertility, an excessive amount of androgen hormones,
acne, and excessive hair growth. It can cause serious
diseases including Diabetes Mellitus 2 and high levels
of cholesterol in the blood. The clinical approach can be
laboratory tests of hormones and ultrasound. PCOS
have complications including obesity (83.7%), oligo
menorrhea (79.68%), infertility (71.87%), and hyper
androgenic (62.49%) and it may vary depending upon
the area of review [1-5]. According to the national
institute of health criteria, women are noted with PCOS
if they have a history of oligo menorrhea or hyper
androgens while Rotterdam suggested one more third

manifestations of the PCOS include metabolic,
endocrine, lifestyle and environmental highlights [5, 8].
Weight also plays an important role in PCOS, Obesity
