Background: Aims of this study was found the association of PCOS with Lipid profile of patients. Methods: Cross sectional Hospital based study conducted on Women at reproductive age (15-45 years) and who presented with Rotterdam Criteria. Results: Mean triglyceride of patients was 113.68±19.25 mg/dl, mean LDL of patients was 95.24±14.94 mg/dl, mean cholesterol of patients was 159.98±18.26 mg/dl and mean HDL of patients was 52.16±6.32 mg/dl Conclusion: PCOS, being a common condition prevailing in women with reproductive age group, is the cause of problem for one in four patients attending a gynecologist. Despite treating the infertility and menstrual complaints of the PCOS patients, it is a treating doctor’s duty to take it as an opportunity to screen for metabolic syndrome and advice for healthy diet, physical activity and weight reduction. Healthy life style modification not only improves their menstrual and ovulatory symptoms, but also prevents the future cardiovascular and other morbid ailments. Keywords: PCOS, LDL, FBS, HDL

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an enigmatic condition and its pathophysiology remains to be determined but it is likely to involve the androgen, insulin, and anti-Mullerian hormone pathways. PCOS is diagnosed in women in the reproductive age group based on the Rotterdam criteria. The spectrum of disease involves various phenotypes based on the current diagnostic criteria and this may have reproductive, metabolic, and endocrine consequences. Reproductive issues include that of irregular menstrual cycles and anovulation. Metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension must be screened for in all women who are diagnosed with PCOS. Long-term risks of metabolic and endocrine disorders in women with PCOS still need further confirmation with more robust data. Reproductive ageing appears to be increased in women with PCOS and they seem to menopause at a later age. Thus far, PCOS appears to be associated with endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine conditions affecting women of reproductive age Group with prevalence of approximately 7- 10% worldwide. Objective: The objectives of the study were to find out the effect of Standardized Fenugreek Seed extract as Furostenolic Saponins (Furocyst) on reduction in ovarian volume and the number of ovarian cysts. Method: An open labelled, Multicentre, single-arm, and non-comparative study was planned on 50 female patients suffering from PCOS. Patients were enrolled as per inclusion i.e. premenopausal women between 18-45 years of age, BMI less than 42, diagnosed with PCOS, with adequate hepatic, renal and haematological functions. Patients willing to give informed consent in writing Patients with Hysterectomy/ Congenital adrenal Hyperplasia/ Cushing’s syndrome / Androgen secreting tumour/ Thyroid-dysfunction/ Hypo-gonadism were excluded. Women were allocated to receive Furocyst and were assessed on parameters of USG & hormonal on second day of cycle before and every 4 weeks within treatment period of 12 weeks. Result: After treatment for 3 months with Furocyst caused significant reduction in ovary Volume (p 0.000), 46% of study population showed reduction in cyst size who had bigger cyst, 36% study population showed complete dissolution of cyst who had small cyst, 12% study population got pregnant and 71% patients reported regular menstrual cycle on completion of treatment and LH: FSH ratio was also reduced to normal. Overall 94% of patients reported positively or got benefitted from Standardized Fenugreek seed extract dosing. No changes were observed in liver function test (LFT), kidney function test (KFT) and haemogram level. Conclusions: Present Study indicates that Standardized Fenugreek seed extract as Furostenolic Saponins (Furocyst) is very effective and safe in the management of Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome in women of reproductive age Group.

Background. Acne is not only a skin condition but also a cardinal component of many systemic diseases or syndromes. This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of acne in reproductive-age women in Sichuan province, China, and to evaluate acne as a skin problem alone or a symptom of gynecological/endocrinological disease. Methods. From October 2008 to September 2009, 1043 reproductive-age women from 19 to 45 years of age from seven communities of three districts in Sichuan province completed a standardized questionnaire and a physical examination. Acne was classified using the Pillsbury scale, and hirsutism was assessed using a modified Ferriman–Gallwey method. Diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was based on the 2003 Rotterdam criteria. Some endocrine and metabolic markers were detected for the women diagnosed with PCOS related to acne and the control group. Results. The prevalence of acne was 32.5%, and the highest prevalence (9.6%) was seen in the 19–24-year-old age group. Prevalence among women eating dessert frequently, exercising seldom, or among sedentary workers was significantly higher in the acne group (14.1%, 55.6%, and 51.3%, respectively) than in the nonacne group (10.8%, 45.7%, and 35.5%; all P<0.05). The prevalence of oligomenorrhea and hirsutism in the acne group (17.6%, 24.7%) was significantly higher than in the nonacne group (8.6%, 15.1%; both P<0.05). Among the participants with acne, 64.3% had acne alone, 18.3% were diagnosed with hyperandrogenism, and 17.4% were diagnosed with PCOS. The level of serum androstendione in the group of PCOS (10.98±3.12 nmol/L) was significantly higher than that in the control group (8.85±3.09nmol/L) (P<0.05). Conclusion. When reproductive-age women with acne are encountered in gynecology–endocrinology or dermatology clinics, physicians should consider evaluating them from PCOS, hyperandrogenism, or acne alone.

Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age group. Though its incidence is markedly increasing, the awareness is still low; as a result it remains undiagnosed. Aim of this study was to find the incidence and risk factors of PCOS among women in reproductive age group, so as to encourage young women to seek timely treatment and prevent its long term complications.Methods: A study was conducted over a period of 1 year amongst 100 women attending the Gynecology OPD using a paper based questionnaire. General examination and the required laboratory tests were done to confirm the diagnosis.Results: It was found that the incidence of PCOS among the study population was 21%. Risk factors include lack of physical activity, irregular menstrual cycle, body mass index more than 25, and Waist-hip ratio above 0.86.Conclusions: It is seen that there is a need to educate women at an early stage to prevent the development of this syndrome and its early detection by them. This will facilitate the health professionals to start the treatment at a stage where the complications have not yet set in.

Abstract Background To describe the diagnostic criteria used and their application accuracy in the practice of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) caring among obstetricians and gynaecologists across China. Methods This was an Online cross-sectional survey of Obstetricians and gynecologists involved in PCOS caring conducted via the largest continuing education platform of obstetrics and gynecology across China from September 2019 to November 2019. Results A total of 2,328 respondents were eligible for the final analysis. Of these, 94.5 % were general obstetricians and gynaecologists (Ge-ObGyn), and 5.5 % were reproductive endocrinologists (Re-ObGyn). Overall, the most frequently used criteria were the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society (AE-PCOS) criteria (48.2 %), followed by the Rotterdam criteria (35.7 %) and NIH criteria (12.1 %). Of the respondents, 31.3 % used their diagnostic criteria in their clinical practice. More respondents who chose the Rotterdam criteria could accurately apply the diagnostic criteria than those who chose the AE-PCOS criteria (41.2 % vs. 32.1 %, P < 0.001). Compared with Ge-ObGyn, Re-ObGyn were less likely to use the AE-PCOS criteria (adjusted odds ratio, 0.513; 95 % CI, 0.328–0.802; P < 0.05) and 1.492 times more likely to accurately use their criteria (95 % CI, 1.014–2.196; P < 0.05). Conclusions Less than one-third of obstetricians and gynaecologists across China could accurately use the diagnostic criteria they choose to diagnose PCOS. There is an urgent need to train obstetricians and gynaecologists on PCOS diagnosis in an effort to improve the medical care quality of patients with PCOS.

Background. Iodine deficiency disorder is a major public health problem in Ethiopia that is more common in women of reproductive age. However, it is not well addressed and there is a lack of information on its prevalence and associated factors in women of reproductive age group. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess goiter prevalence and associated factors among women of reproductive age in the Demba Gofa woreda, Gamo Gofa Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was used among 584 randomly selected women in the reproductive age group from February 05 to April 20, 2016. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the study kebeles, and a systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study samples. Data were collected through a pretested questionnaire, and the goiter examination was done clinically for each participant. The collected data were coded and entered into a computer for statistical analysis using EpiData version 3.2 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Variables with a P value ≤0.25 in bivariate logistic regression analysis were entered into multivariate logistic regression analysis, and finally, variables with a P value <0.05 in multivariate logistic regression were considered significantly associated with the dependent variable. Results. The total goiter rate was 43%, 95% CI = 39.2–46.9. Cassava consumption (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.03–4), salt wash before use (AOR: 3.14, 95% CI: 1.1–11.3), salt use after >2 months of purchase (AOR: 11, 95% CI: 5–26), family history of goiter (AOR: 4.6, 95% CI: 1.4–15.8), and poor knowledge of iodized salt (AOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.4–5.5) were significant factors associated with goiter. Conclusion. Iodine deficiency was found to be severe in women of reproductive age in the study area. This showed that women of reproductive age, especially during pregnancy, are exposed to iodine deficiency and its adverse effects at delivery. Thus, they need urgent supplementation with iodine, improved access to foods rich in iodine, and intake of iodized salt. Additionally, health education should focus on the importance of iodized salt, the proper method of use, and the prevention of iodine deficiency, which are highly recommended to minimize the problem.

Background: According to Global Burden of Skin Disease study data, 2013, Acne affects nearly 85% of adolescents and young adults in the age group 12-25 years.1 traditionally it was considered to be a transitory disease of teenagers and young adults; however recent study reports indicate it to be a disease affecting all age groups in adults. Aims: To study the clinical profile of adult acne, grade the severity using global acne grading system (GAGS) and to determine the proportion of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women with adult acne. Material and Methods: Patients with acne in the age group of 25-60 years were included in the study. A detailed examination of clinical profile of acne was done along with grading of severity of acne using GAGS. Also, documentation of hyperandrogenism using Ferriman Gallwey score for hirsutism and diagnosis of PCOS using Rotterdam criteria was done in all female patients of acne. Results: A total of 105 patients were included in the study. Among these, 82.9% were women and 17.1% were men. The mean age of the patients was 28.04±3.60 years. Persistent acne was observed in 85.7%, while late onset in 14.3%. Most common site of involvement was cheek (98%), followed by chin (76%), and forehead (64.7%). Mild grade acne was observed in 93.3% patients. Hyperpigmentation was seen in 78.1% while scarring was observed in 52.4% patients. A total of 8% female patients had PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria. Conclusion: We found a predominance of females and persistent acne. Although the prevalence of PCOS was low in adult female acne patients, they were affected by more severe grades of acne and risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring was higher as compared to non-PCOS patients.
