A lecturer in the College of Education for Pure Sciences/Department of Life Sciences, Dr. Ashwaq Kazem Obaid, received acceptance for publication of a scientific article titled (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) by the Scientific Articles Committee at the Presidency of the University of Karbala after the article met all publication conditions. Prof. Dr. Ashwaq Kazem Obaid stated that according to global statistics, 60-80 million couples complain of infertility every year. In general, the causes of infertility were attributed to men in 34% of cases, to women in 43.5%, and to both in 17% of cases. However, 8.1% of cases have an unknown cause. In the past thirty years, Iraq has revealed several crises that have exacerbated many health problems, including fertility problems. The infertility rate in Iraq has increased since the year 2000. Iraq’s exposure to various events such as war, terrorism, and immigration have had a negative impact on people’s lives. The high infertility rate in Iraq may be linked to the increase in malignant tumors and the spread of infectious diseases. Medical disorders associated with infertility in women also play a role in the development of sexual dysfunction, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is the most common cause of anovulation in infertile females, as it is the most common endocrine disorder among women aged 18-44. One of the main causes of poor fertility. 30-40% of women with menopause suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, which is responsible for 70% of infertility problems in women who have difficulty ovulating. It is a group of small, regular, pearl-sized cysts in the ovary. The cysts surround immature eggs filled with fluid, and cause the ovaries to enlarge due to the significant expansion and enlargement of the follicles. To view the article:
