Abstract :

 Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the most common endocrinopathy affecting Women affecting women of reproductive age. we

investigated the association of biochemical characteristics with ovarian follicle diameter in women with PCOS.
Method: A community–based cross–sectional study was carried out among women aged 20–35 years who were permanent residents of West
Bengal. Ninety nine (n=99) cases were included on diagnosis was made on the basis of the Rotterdam criteria (2003). Cases are divided into three
groups on basis ovarian diameter. Serum total testosterone and ovarian follicle diameter were measured.
Results: Serum total testosterone level was the highest in group 1, intermediate in groups II and lowest in group III.Serum total testosterone had
significant and strong negative correlation with follicular diameter (r = –0.706,p<0.0001) in group I moderate negative correlation in group II (r = –
0.644,p=0.001) and no correlation in group III
Conclusion: We can conclude that serum total testosterone was strongly correlated with ovarian follicle of small in diameter.
