  ABSTRACT: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders of women at reproductive age and the major cause of anovulatory infertility. The aim of this study is to determine hormonal imbalance in women with PCOS in teaching hospitals in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Samples of 110 females (50 freshly diagnosed PCOS subjects and 60 healthy subjects) between the ages of 25 - 45 years old were collected from Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti and Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Serum Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Total Testosterone, Prolactin, Progesterone, Estradiol and Insulin were evaluated in subjects’ blood sample using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis (p > 0.05) when compared with the healthy control group. Hormonal values obtained in this study indicates hormonal imbalance in PCOS. Further investigation into novel helpful markers is required as it might help in achieving the therapeutical target in PCOS management research.
