BIOCHEMICAL, HORMONAL PROFILE, AND VITAMIN D LEVELS IN OBESE WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY DISEASE BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT WITH METFORMIN IN UNMARRIED WOMEN

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the biochemical and hormonal profiles, as well as vitamin D levels, in obese women with polycystic ovary disease (PCOD) before and after metformin treatment. Conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, the study included 150 PCOD women aged 18-30 years. Diagnosis was based on the revised Rotterdam criteria. Biochemical and hormonal parameters, along with vitamin D levels, were assessed before and after a four-month metformin treatment. Significant improvements were observed post-treatment, indicating metformin’s efficacy in managing PCOD symptoms.
