Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to determine the difference between the effect of Ultrasound Cavitation and Elctroacupuncture on sex hormones in obese infertile patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that occurs in 6 - 10 of women at the reproductive age It is associated with an-ovulation infertility hyperandrogenism obesity and insulin resistance

Endocrine characteristics of PCOS are elevated serum concentrations of androgens and Luteinizing hormone LH and decreased concentrations of sex hormone binding globulin SHBG

Ultrasound cavitation is the method in handling Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue especially in destroying subcutaneous fat and shaping a particular part of the body As one of the non-surgical correction method UC is preferred for lowering the risk of complications due to obesity

UC reported a greater decrease of the WHR suggesting a valuable modification of fat distribution pattern especially at the abdominal level It improves rates of ovulation provides higher incidence of regular menstrual cycles and lower levels of total testosterone

Acupuncture is a treatment method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine Electroacupuncture promotes follicle development and corrects reproductive endocrine dysfunction in ovaries by regulating the functions of the hypothalamus pituitary and ovaries
Detailed Description: This study will be designed as prospective randomized single blind experimental pre-post test controlled- trial study

Simple Size Calculation

I- Subjects

Forty obese infertile patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome will participate in this study to determine the difference between the effect of Ultrasound Cavitation and Elctroacupuncture on sex hormones They will be selected randomly from Out Patient Clinic of Aga Hospital Central in Aga All patients will be divided randomly into two equal groups AB

Group A

twenty obese infertile patients with PCO who will be treated by ultrasound cavitation 2 times per week for 3 months with medical treatment and hypocaloric diet 1200 kcalday

Group B

twenty obese infertile patients with PCO who will be treated by electroacupuncture 3 times per week for 3 months with medical treatment and hypocaloric diet 1200 kcalday II- Instrumentations
