Pregnancy in a Secondary Infertile Woman with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) –A Case Report

Abstract

Case Report Polycystic ovarian syndrome, also called Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is a disorder involving multiple endocrine systems resulting in abnormal levels of gonadotropins, androgens, and glucose in the blood. Several other manifestations arise in association with PCOS like a blockage in the fallopian tube, endometrial polyps, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. We hereby delineate a case of a 34-year-old married female in whom PCOS was diagnosed at the age of 22. After her marriage, she presented with the complaint of infertility. Investigations revealed that she had a polyp in her right fallopian tube after which a polypectomy was performed. She was able to conceive six months after the surgery was done. Currently, after seven years, she presented with the same complaint of infertility. After undergoing relevant procedures, her secondary infertility was ascertained as a result of PCOS. Following regular medications, she was able to get pregnant with triplets. This pregnancy had many associated complications. Out of three, one fetus died and the remaining two survived.
