Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an endocrinological disorder influencing ladies, and it is the foremost common cause of menstrual unsettling influence amid the regenerative age. Polycystic ovary disorder (PCOS) is in fact a chronic form of anovulation that is usually observed besides a large spectrum of clinical symptoms and signs. Objectives: The study's main goal is to evaluate the hormonal indicators of ``PCOS'' and insulin resistance and determine how insulin resistance affects these hormones. Materials and methods: This study included 130 women, aged 19--38, who were separated into three bunches: 40 women with ``PCOs'' who were treated with metformin and 50 women with ``PCOs'' who were not treated with. In expansion, 40 from the control gather. Hormone levels: luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), insulin resistance, and fasting blood sugar were measured. Results: The correlation pattern showed an increasing trend from lower to increased rise of LH compared to FSH. The data reveals that both the untreated and treated groups exhibit significantly elevated levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin, and insulin resistance (IR) when compared to the control group. However, the untreated group displays the highest levels for all these parameters. Conclusions: This study shows a significant association between insulin resistance levels and the LH proportion in ladies with PCOS. The studied parameters may play an important role in the evaluation of therapeutic responses in POCS women in Baghdad City.
