Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Women with this syndrome may have infrequent menstrual periods or amenorrhea and excess androgen levels. The ovaries develop numerous small follicles and fail to ovulate on a regular basis, with subsequent subfertility in those women that wish to conceive. Recent research stated that interventions aiming to improve QoL among infertile women with PCOS should focus on alleviating infertility-related stress, especially among women with high BMI. So, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ultrasound cavitation combined with aerobic exercise on menstrual irregularity and infertility related stress in women having PCOS.

| ultrasound cavitation in addition to aerobic ex | Other | Ultrasonic cavitation was turned on, the program of cavitation 40 kHz was chosen, the time was adjusted at 30 minutes. The cavitational head was moved very slowly on each abdominal segment in a small circular movement for 5 minutes. After finishing the focused ultrasound of the 6 segments of the abdomen, the skin was cleaned with cotton. in addition to that the patients will receive aerobic exercises for 40 minutes. |

| Infertily related Stress level | Infertility-Related Stress Scale is a concise, reliable, and validated tool; it facilitates quick screening for infertility's impact on intrapersonal and interpersonal life domains. The IRSS consists of 12 items rated from 1 ("no stress") to 7 ("high stress")., with higher grades means higher stress. | change from base line at 12 weeks. |

| Hormonal profile | Blood samples will be drown from an antecubital vein of each patient in the study on two occasions, firstly at the end at 2 nd or 3 rd day of the menstrual cycle after an overnight fasting just before starting her treatment regimen and secondly after 3 months of the treatment. It will be centrifuged within 2 hours after withdrawal. Serum will be stared at -20OC and assayed for LH and FSH with chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay kits. Assays for fasting insulin by RIA kits and SHBG will be determined by using an immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). | change from base line at 12 weeks. |
