Keywords:
fibrocystic disease, breast, PCOS, patient, ultrasoundAbstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most gynecologic, endocrine cases affect approximately 5-15%of women during reproductive age. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial and polygenic pathology that manifests itself with a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. The study aims to find out the association between PCOS and fibrocystic disease of the breast according to finding detected by ultrasound. Method: Across sectional study with 140 patients were enrolled in this study collected from the gynecologic and infertility clinic in Al-Imameen Al-Kadhymian Medical City, Iraq, Baghdad during the period from march 2021 to January 2022.Information was taken from patients through interview, inclusion criteria includes female gender, age between 20-50 years old not using oral contraceptive drug, pelvic and breast ultrasound report. SPSS version 24 was used to examine the frequency association between variable. Result: There were 140 female cases of PCOs, fifty-five (39%) were fibrocystic disease of breast. The prevalence of fibrocystic disease of breast in patient with PCOs in current study were fifty-five (39%).there were significant association between fibrocystic disease of breast with age, education level, BMI, age of monarch, hirsutism, history of infertility and history of pain with p value ≤ 0.05.
