Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that commonly affects women of reproductive age. Its prevalence varies quite significantly and its clinical presentation includes: reproductive, metabolic and psychological issues.  PCOS develops due to a variety of factors some of which are not yet fully understood. Due to the complexity in the development and presentation of this condition, the management of PCOS in most instances is complicated and involves the combination of pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical interventions. This review discusses the pathogenesis and management of PCOS as means of providing information that would enhance understanding and control of this disease.

Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) is one of the predominant hormonal imbalances present in women of reproductive age. It needs to be diagnosed and treated at an earlier stage as it's inter-related to diabetes, high cholesterol levels, and obesity. This paper presents an application specially designed for women to help them keep track of their Body Mass Index, Blood Sugar, and Blood Pressure based on their age. The people diagnosed with PCOS(an endocrine disorder) can use this application to make their life easy since it helps follow certain exercises, diets, and timely reminders for water and medicines. It has features like the period tracker to track the user’s menstrual cycle, find dieticians nearby, links to various PCOS supplements, users can track their moods during different menstrual phases and control their mood swings. Finally, the application has games to add that interactive touch.

Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a metabolic disease and a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age. Infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity can occur in women with PCOS. Early diagnosis and treatment along with weight loss may reduce the risk of long-term complications. Now a days PCOS is also the cause of infertility. India is PCOS capital of the world. PCOS management is necessary to reduce its long time complications.J MEDICINE Jan 2018; 19 (1) : 49-53

Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is an endocrine ailment affecting women of reproductive age. This syndrome is largely found in women whose age is in between 25 and 35. Without knowing the accurate region of a follicle in ovary, the hazard rigorousness of the patient cannot be exposed. Since, super-pixels can be functional on segmentation and image representation, it has turned out to be essential for refining the competence in computer vision systems. Thus, in this paper, a novel image denoising methodology for the detection of a follicle in the PCOS has been suggested by exploring the super-pixel clustering and Fuzzy C means clustering.

Ovarian Syndrome

We are presenting here a case of polycystic ovarian syndrome, an endocrine disorder, afflicting 5-13% females of reproductive age, causing 70-80% infertility associated with pituitary macroadenoma i.e. size >10mm& prolactin level >250 ng/mI. PCOS has a higher relationship with metabolic disturbance and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis function disorder. Prolactinoma is present in about 50% women with hyperprolactinemia and 33% present with galactorrhea. Our patient was a 22 yrs nulligravida married since 3 yrs first presenting 5 yrs back with complaints of secondary amenorrhea with galactorrhea and infertility. On evaluation she was diagnosed as PCOS and pituitary macroadenoma on MRI. We medically treated her with tab. cabergoline in consultation with endocrinologist and neurosurgeons opinion. Being a compliant patient with regular follow up she conceived twice with good outcome and breastfed her babies on medical management only. Now she has 2 children (male child of 3 yrs and 1 month). Dilemma in management options will be discussed. Summary: Inspite of having both Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) & Pituitary Macroadenoma, which warrant surgical management (major causes of Infertility) selected cases like ours can be managed medically successfully.

ABSTRACT Introduction Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder affecting all age groups and presenting with myriad problems like menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, anovulatory infertility, and long-term complications like diabetes, cardiovascular problems, etc. Aim Study was aimed at finding the prevalence, characteristics, and various risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) in reproductive age group in our hospital. Materials and methods Using statistical table, a sample size of 131 was calculated and patients were recruited as per inclusion criteria. Polycystic ovarian syndrome was diagnosed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)/European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) criteria. After informed consent, a detailed history was obtained and physical examination was carried out to assess, body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist—hip ratio (WHR), and blood pressure (BP). Fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured for each woman Results Prevalence of MS in our study was 45.8%; 26.7% of patients had a combination of increased waist circumference, raised triglycerides, and low HDL; 55.2% of patients had a fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels more than 100 mg%. Age of the patient was a statistically significant risk factor of MS with 100% of patients in the age group of 35 to 39 presenting with MC. Body mass index was also a statistically significant risk factor with 82.6% with BMI > 30 having MC. Other important risk factors include a WHR more than 0.95, presence of diabetes in mother or sister, and presence of acanthosis; 71% of patients with WHR more than 0.95 had MC. Age of menarche, duration of menstrual cycles, and hirsutism showed no significant relationship. Conclusion An outstanding fact that emerged in this study was that 94% of women with PCOS had HDL values <50 mg/dL. And 58% had triglycerides more than 150 mg/dL. Hence, lifestyle modification and early intervention will hopefully spare long-term complication of PCOS. How to cite this article Madusudhanan RR, Nambisan B, Brahmanandan M, Radha S.
