The Relationship between Ovarian Ultrasound Parameters and Endocrine and Metabolic Indicators in Patients with Ovarian Syndrome

Abstract

Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the levels of endocrine and metabolic indicators and ovarian ultrasonography indicators in patients with ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Methods. Three hundred and forty patients with PCOS from January 2017 to February 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 340 healthy women of the same age were selected as the control group. A retrospective analysis was performed to observe the levels of endocrine and metabolic indicators and ovarian ultrasound examination indicators in the two groups. Results. The levels of testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA-S), luteinizing hormone (LH), LH/FSH, blood glucose, and insulin were higher in the observation group than those in the control group. The levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and free insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) were higher in the observation group than those in the control group. However, the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was lower in the observation group than that in the control group. The ovarian interstitial area, total ovarian area, ovarian volume, number of follicles, uterine artery pulsatility index (PI), and resistance index (RI) were higher in the observation group than those in the control group. Pearson correlation analysis concluded that estrone (E1) levels in PCOS patients were correlated with ovarian interstitial area, total ovarian area, and ovarian volume. In addition, E1 levels correlated with LH levels, LH/FSH, testosterone, DHEA-S, and progesterone at $P<0.05$ . Compared with different treatment methods, the total testosterone, LH, and LH/FSH levels in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment, and the degree of decrease in the combined treatment group was more significant than that in the treatment alone group. Conclusion. The levels of endocrine metabolism and ovarian ultrasound in PCOS patients are abnormal and there is a close relationship between the levels of endocrine metabolism and ovarian ultrasound. Attention should be paid to the monitoring and regulation of endocrine metabolism and ovarian ultrasound. Integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine can greatly improve the hormone levels in PCOS patients.
