Research Focus

  • Currently I am working on association of Vitamin D3 levels in patients of polycystic ovary syndrome. Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with the 67-85% of women with PCOS having serum concentrations of 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25OHD) <20 ng/ml. Vitamin D deficiency may intensify symptoms of PCOS, with observational studies showing lower 25OHD levels were associated with insulin resistance, ovulatory and menstrual irregularities, lower pregnancy success rate, hirsutism, hyper-androgenism, obesity and elevated cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Keywords

  • polycystic ovary syndrome ; Vitamin D deficiency;  menstrual irregularities.
