“…Other blood groups showed no significant association with endometriosis and respective oocyte quality. Similarly, it has been shown that women with blood group 'O' are susceptible to PCO 15 and we also found a significant association of the same. This finding suggests that 'O' blood group women with PCO may have greatly altered oocyte quality.…”

“…This observation might add value to the various studies which state that incidence of infertility is high among the 'O' blood group women by proving that oocyte quality need not be the only contributing factor for infertility. 9,15 We also found that in women of AB blood group, good quality oocytes (Grade '1', Grade '2' and Grade '3' together), were found to be high though the difference is not much when compared with other blood groups. There is evidence to suggest that 'AB' group as the most fertile group which is also shown in our study where next to O group AB group had highest number of good Grade 1 oocyte.…”

“…PCOS is said to be the most common cause of infertility in women. [1] Although the exact cause of PCOS is not known, it is generally believed to result in hormonal imbalance, hence it has been alternatively called "ovarian androgen excess" This is so because in patients with PCOS, the ovaries begin to produce androgen in increased amounts.…”

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) refers to the presence of small, benign and painless cysts in the ovaries, usually manifested clinically by a faction of symptoms and changes in hormonal levels. Despite the fact that its prevalence is global, the knowledge of its etiology and management is still grossly inadequate even among women who are affected in various parts of the world. The study therefore investigated the level of knowledge of women of reproductive age group about polycystic ovarian syndrome and its effect on the reproductive hormones. A sample of ninety-four (94) subjects, consisting of forty-seven (47) PCOS women and forty-seven (47) non-PCOS women with age ranging from 15-50 years was used for the study, to evaluate their knowledge of PCOS and its effect on their reproductive hormones. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. The results showed that PCOS is mainly found among married women within the age of 21 to 30 years. The knowledge of the respondents about PCOS was also found to be very poor with only about 40.43% of them indicating having knowledge about the condition. Finally, PCOS was found to significantly elevate the concentrations of LH and FSH, significantly reduced the concentration of Progesterone, with an insignificant effect on prolactin, with respect to the non-PCOS patients. It was therefore concluded that the women in this study generally have a poor knowledge about the existence of PCOS and that PCOS has the capacity to cause hormonal imbalance.
