Abstract

Background: Infertility appeared to be influenced by several PCOS comorbidities. Obesity and insulin resistance in particular were independently linked to lower pregnancy and live birth rates, as well as a higher risk of abortion. Aim: investigate the effect of physical activity habit modifications on gynecological features among studied infertile overweight and polycystic ovary syndrome. Subjects and Methods: A quasi-experimental design at Beni-Suef University Hospital's gynecological and infertility clinics; a purposive sample of 116 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, overweight, and obesity, was selected. Tools: I: The Arabic-structured interview questionnaire contains personal data; II: Block Adult Physical Activity (PA) Screener was the predictor for physical activity. This tool assessed the frequency and duration of job-related, daily life, and leisure activities. Results: reveals that 87.5% of Mild Physical Activity of the study group women has duration of menstrual cycle of less than 3 days (hypomenorrhea before intervention. Compared to 68% of moderate physical activity had a normal duration of the menstrual cycle of 3-5 days after the intervention. About 93.6%, of Mild Physical Activity (sedentary lifestyle) of the study group women have an irregular cycle before intervention. Compared to 80% of moderate physical activity had a regular cycle after the intervention. Conclusion: Physical activity habit modifications affect gynecological features among studied infertile overweight and polycystic ovary syndrome Recommendations: A study can be conducted to assess the PCOS on pregnancy outcomes and childbirth.
