This study will be designed as prospective, randomized, single blind, experimental, pre-post test , controlled- trial study. Simple Size Calculation: I- Subjects: Forty obese infertile patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome will participate in this study to determine the difference between the effect of Ultrasound Cavitation and Elctroacupuncture on sex hormones. They will be selected randomly from Out Patient Clinic of Aga Hospital Central, in Aga. All patients will be divided randomly into two equal groups (A&B). Group A: twenty obese infertile patients with PCO who will be treated by ultrasound cavitation, 2 times per week for 3 months with medical treatment and hypocaloric diet (1200 kcal/day) Group B: twenty obese infertile patients with PCO who will be treated by electroacupuncture, 3 times per week for 3 months with medical treatment and hypocaloric diet (1200 kcal/day) II- Instrumentations: Recording data sheet (Appendix II). Standard weight height scale: measure BMI Tape measurement: measure waist/hip ratio. Test tubes: used to collect the blood samples from obese infertile patients Kites: used for assessment of serum progesterone level, testosterone, LH and FSH. Abdominal ultrasongraphy: measure ovulation rate. cavitation in group A 8- electroacupuncture in group B
