Abstract We determined the effects of fertility massage and conventional exercises in reducing the waist hip ratio, ovarian cyst size and stress level among women with poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Study included 30 females who are diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Each group consists of 15 participants who were assessed for waist hip ratio, ovarian cyst size and perceived stress level with an intervention of 6 weeks. Comparison between Fertility Massage Group A and Conventional Exercises Group B, shows the waist hip ratio measurements have significant difference between the groups with the P value (0.0293), Perceived stress level between the group also shows significant changes in the post test with a P value (0.0351) and Ovarian Cyst Size was decreased in posttest when compared to pretest scores with a P value (0.0001) Thereby the post test scores of Group A is lesser than the Group B. Therefore from this study it is concluded that fertility massage along with conventional exercises is more effective than conventional exercises in treating women with poly cystic ovarian syndrome.
