Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common metabolic and endocrine disease among women of reproductive-age, which cause prone to psychological symptoms. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between PCOS and psychological symptoms. Method: This case control study was conducted in the Gynecology Clinic of a Private University Hospital, Ankara, Turkey in 2016. The study conducted on patients with PCOS who received therapy in Gynecologic Oncology Center of a Private University Hospital in Ankara, Turkey. A total of 80 women with PCOS were administered The Survey Form, Beck Anxiety Index, and Beck Depression Index. Results: The PCOS group showed significantly higher scores of anxiety and depression symptoms compared to controls (p<,05). Age, education, marital status and income level were significantly associated with anxiety and depression scores of women with PCOS (p<,05). Conclusion: Women with PCOS are at risk for anxiety and depression. These results emerged the need of emotional support into clinical process with appropriate interventions as an additional therapy to improve life quality for women with PCOS. Further studies are need to broader understanding of this area.

Psychiatric Problems

Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most frequent endocrine disease among women of reproductive age. It is associated with increased risks of various metabolic disorders and complications. most recent data suggest that women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome are most exposed to several psychological problems. It has been shown that polycystic ovary syndrome exerts a negative impact on female identity and it contributes to the deterioration of quality of life and, eventually, to development of psychiatric problems. The mental consequences of the disease can be as depressing as physiological symptoms. This draws attention on the importance of the disease from the aspect of therapy as well and, therefore, it may be justified to involve a psychologist or psychiatrist in the process for a more effective treatment. The aim of the paper is to summarize the most frequqent psychological symptoms associated with the disease. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(47), 1867–1871.

This study was conducted at the Fertility Center at Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital in Najaf Governorate from 16/10/2016 to 10/3/2017 to determine the relationship between thyroid disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome in women of reproductive age. There was no significant difference in body mass and age for thyroid function. The study as well showed not significant difference in T3 and T4 levels when comparing the two groups, but there was a significant difference (P less than 0.05) in the TSH level, which is higher in the patients. It is concluded that there is a relationship between thyroid disorders and PCOS due to increased TSH in women with the syndrome.

AbstractPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age. There is no clear association between PCOS and benign breast disease (BBD). The latter is a frequent benign disorder, affecting women between 20 and 50 years of age. To date, the classification remains controversial, and the risk of developing breast cancer that is associated with these changes is different depending on the histopathological findings. The most frequent changes are breast cysts, which are noted in up to 50% of patients older than 30 years of age. This up-to-date review presents the relationship between PCOS and BBD. In conclusion, there is no clear association between benign breast disease and PCOS. Further studies on a large population with prospectively collected data using updated PCOS criteria are necessary.

Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder characterized by conditions such as anovulation, androgen excess, infertility, insulin resistance, depression and amenorrhea. Women with genetic predisposition are at a higher risk of being affected by it. Other environmental factors like sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, obesity has often been seen to trigger the onset of this condition. Due to the increased unhealthy lifestyle more number of women is being diagnosed with PCOS each year. There are also other health risks due to PCOS like impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, abdominal obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Although, there is no permanent cure for PCOS but it can be treated with pharmacotherapy along with implementation of healthy lifestyle and proper diet. If PCOS is diagnosed early and managed properly then the associated reproductive, metabolic, and cardiovascular abnormalities can be effectively managed or previewed [1]. In this review article some research work has been discussed where implementing a healthy lifestyle and diet has shown to deal with PCOS problems. The effect of consumption of myoinositol, low glycemic index diet and omega 3 fatty acids on PCOS has been emphasised. PCOS is becoming an increasing cause of concern as mostly women in the reproductive age group is affected by it. Many teenage girls in their puberty also gets PCOS. PCOS is known to bring about anxiety and depression in patients. With the other conditions associated with it like excess facial hair growth, overweight, infertility: the anxiety and depression might get enhanced. PCOS may affect the quality of life of individuals if it is not dealt with early on.

Background: Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOS) is perceived as the most widely recognized endocrinopathy in reproductive women. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the lifestyle and frequency of polycystic ovary syndrome in Saudi Arabia.Methods: This is a case-control study conducted on females at princess Nourah University (PNU), King Fahad Medical City (KFMC) and malls in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. The study included females in the reproductive age including 401 controls and 122 PCOS cases.Results: History of pregnancy related disorders was higher among the PCOS women in comparison to controls, while abortion represented the highest percentage in both cases and controls. Family history of polycystic ovary syndrome was doubled in cases than controls. There was significant increase in the percentage of hypothyroidism and hyperlipidemia in polycystic ovary syndrome patients (P <0.001). Snoring, use of oral contraceptives, high prolactin level, incidence of menorrhagia and urinary tract infection were significantly higher in cases than controls (P <0.001). In addition, there was no difference between controls and polycystic ovary syndrome cases regarding their dietary intake. On the other hand, physical activity was significantly higher in controls compared to polycystic ovary syndrome group.Conclusions: This study supports previous studies that revealed a relation between polycystic ovary syndrome and endocrinological disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, and obesity. On the other hand, there is no relation between dietary intake and PCOS, however exercising regularly can decrease the possibility of having the disease.

New Evidence

: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects about 15% of women of reproductive age and is correlated with infertility, insulin resistance, and obesity. The etiology of PCOS is multifactorial and genetic, endocrine, and metabolic causes were involved. New evidence suggests a link between microorganisms residing in the digestive tracts of humans and the development of PCOS. Moreover, an imbalance in the gut microbial community could be a possible factor for the onset of insulin resistance and obesity. Hyperandrogenism, a key feature of PCOS, could also play a critical role in shaping the microbiome community. Probiotics could modify the gut microbiota and serve as a potential treatment for PCOS. Here we disclose the association between PCOS and intestinal microbiota and the possible role of probiotics as a new treatment approach.

Abstract Objectives There is a growing evidence indicating an impact of endocrine distrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) on human reproduction. Its higher levels in serum or urine have been documented in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), however the relationship to ovarian steroidogenesis remains unclear. Aim of the study was to compare urinary BPA (U-BPA) concentrations among PCOS women and control group. Second aim was to assess the relationship of U-BPA to ovarian steroidogenesis in the group with PCOS. Methods Eighty six Caucasian women (age 28.5 ± 5.1 years) diagnosed with PCOS and 32 controls of age 24.9 ± 4.4 years were included in the study. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for biochemical parameters and steroid hormones. U-BPA was measured in the morning urine sample using high pressure liquid chromatography. Results PCOS women had significantly higher U-BPA as compared with control group (p=0.0001). Those with high levels of U-BPA (U-BPA ≥2.14 ug/g creatinine) demonstrated higher serum insulin (p=0.029) and HOMA IR (p=0.037), lower serum estrone (p=0.05), estradiol (p=0.0126), FSH (p=0.0056), and FAI (p=0.0088), as compared with low-BPA group (U- BPA <2.14 ug/g creatinine). In PCOS women, U-BPA positively correlated with age (p=0.0026; R2=0.17), negatively with estradiol (p=0.0001, R2=0.5), testosterone (p=0.0078, R2=0.15), free-testosterone (p=0.0094, R2=0.12) and FAI (p=0.0003, R2=0.32), respectively. Conclusions PCOS women have significantly higher U-BPA concentrations than healthy controls. U-BPA positively correlates with age and negatively with ovarian steroid hormones suggesting a possible suppressive effect of bisphenol A on ovarian steroidogenesis.
