Polycystic Ovary Syndrome A Review

Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in premenopausal women. Heterogeneous by its nature, PCOS is defined as combination of signs and symptoms of androgen excess and ovarian dysfunction in the absence of other specific diagnoses. The etiology of the syndrome remains unknown, but evidence suggests that PCOS might be a complex multigenic disorder with strong epigenetic and environmental influences, including diet and lifestyle factors. It affects 8 to 13 of reproductive aged women. Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS is associated with hormonal, biochemical disturbance and adverse cosmetic, reproductive, metabolic, and psychological consequences, resulting in reduced health related quality of life HRQoL . The most recent international guidelines set lifestyle management as the cornerstone of the PCOS treatment. Hridyanshi | R. K.
