Results:
The percentage of the normal uterine cavity was significantly lower in
the PCOS group than control group as 51 % and 66.7 %, 77 % and 94.2
% according to the ASRM and ESHRE/ESGE classifications, respectively.
The frequency of Partial Septate Uterus (ESHRE-ESGE U2a / ASRM Va,
21.6% vs 5.8 % p<0.05), Complete Septate Uterus (ESHRE-ESGE
U2b / ASRM Vb, 7.8% vs 0% p<0.01) and Dysmorphic Uterus
(ESHRE-ESGE U1c) / ASRM VII) 3.9 % vs 0 p<0.05) were
significantly higher in PCOS patients than controls.
The frequency of arcuate uterus classified as VI in ASRM and considered
as normal in ESHRE/ESGE was 16 % and 17.3 % in PCOS and control
groups, respectively, without statistically significant difference.
The increased frequency of intrauterine cavity abnormalities was
correlated with serum free testosterone levels.
