Aims and Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the treatment strategies for infertile patients with diagnosed Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Material and Methods: This study looked at 80 cases of infertility caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome. From August 2021 to July 2022, this study evaluated 80 cases of infertility with PCOS at a tertiary medical college. The diagnosis was made using a hormone assay, ultrasound, and laparoscopy. Treatment options included clomiphene citrate, letrozole, and laparoscopic ovarian drilling. Results: In our study, the majority (50%) were between the ages of 26 and 30 years old, and 100% of patients complained of infertility, with 66.25% being of the primary type. Menstrual abnormalities affected 73.75% of women. The LH: FSH ratio was greater than 1.6 in approximately 85% of responders, and 77.5% of women had enlarged polycystic ovaries. Clomiphene citrate had a conception rate of 24%, Letrozole 31% had a rate of 20%, and laparoscopic ovarian drilling followed by Letrozole had a rate of 60%. Conclusion: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a complex illness that necessitates a variety of treatment techniques based on the reason a patient seeks treatment. Aside from diet and fitness improvements, most patients with good conception rates require lifestyle modification treatment such as C/C and laparoscopic ovarian drilling.
