Objective: To demonstrate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS in fertile and infertile women in Minia Governorate, Egypt. Patients & Methods: 1450 patients visiting outpatients’ clinics of Minia Maternity University Hospital were classified into two groups; group (I), included 620 fertile women and group (II) included 830 infertile women. All patients were searched for ovulatory disorders and manifestations of hyperandrogenism. Trans-vaginal ultrasound was done for all patients. Free testosterone (free T) was done only for patients with hyperandrogenism (336). Results: The prevalence of PCOS was 27.4%. The prevalence was 14% and 37.5% in fertile and infertile women respectively. The percentages of ovulatory disorder, hirsutism and PCO in infertile patients with POCS were 73.3%, 60.4% and 79.4% respectively. There was significant correlation between prevalence of PCOS and increased BMI (r=0.221 and P = 0.001). Conclusions: PCOS represents a major health and reproductive problems in women of the reproductive age.
