PCOS, a hormone imbalance that causes infertility, obesity etc. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age. It is the most common female endocrine disorder with prevalence rates ranging from 4% to 18%. There are many associated condition with PCOS like obesity, many types of cancer, infertility, cardiac diseases etc. It is confirm that women who have this syndrome are at risk more than other women. The treatment of PCOS is determined by whether a woman wishes to become pregnant or not. If pregnancy is not a goal, then weight loss, oral contraceptives, and the diabetes medication. It should also include all metabolic effects and potential problems. More study and knowledge of the biology of PCOS will lead to better treatment outcomes and patient management.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting around 5–8% of women of reproductive age. It has a variable clinical spectrum including hyperandrogenism, menstrual abnormalities, polycystic ovaries and metabolic features like diabetes mellitus, obesity and dyslipidaemia. The manifestation of PCOS and its impact especially on reproductive function and pregnancy are profoundly affected by associated features of obesity/raised body mass index and metabolic syndrome.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. Authors explored the effects of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on depression in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).Methods: In a 4-week study duration in which the intervention was for three times a week, 30 females which were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria received a PMR protocol in which subjects were taught to contract and relax 16 muscle groups. The Becks Depression Inventory (BDI) was taken before and after the intervention as a depression analysis tool.Results: After 4 weeks of intervention, the patients showed significant improvement in depression (P < 0.05).Conclusions: In conclusion, this study suggests that PMR practice is effective in improving depression, in patients with PCOS.


A common endocrine disorder named polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) usually occurs to several women’s during their reproductive age. This type of disease leads to infertility which represent with amenorrhea and hirsutism. The combination of clinical, endocrinological, and biochemical abnormalities are known to be PCOS which particularly related with the metabolism of estrogen and androgens. The periphery of ovaries is identified with the most common immature follicles which are less than 10mm. Analyzing this kind of situations in women is a major challenge which now doctors used ultrasound images which have the necessary details like number of follicles, size, and position. For real-time analysis of PCOS is a major task as follicles contains different sizes and highly connected with tissues and blood vessels which results in error prone. Several researchers have proposed different techniques for analyzing the PCOS using the ultrasound images of ovaries. In this study, we analyze the important factors and techniques used in detection of PCOS by using the ultrasound images taken from the women’s ovary and compared the results of existing works.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also recognized as the Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is one of the most widespread endocrinopathies between women of reproductive age. Hyperinsulinemia in mixture with pancreatic beta cell dysfunction consequences in an increased risk of numerous illnesses, counting type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Insulin also stimulates the theca cells of the ovary to create excessive testosterone, which is accountable for the clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenism

41 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 15 healthy women of reproductive age were examined to evaluate ovarian aromatase activity. Aromatase activity was determined by the decrease of estradiol level after peroral intake of aromatase inhibitor letrosol. To examine aromatase activity of antral follicle (∆E2) was divided on the blood level of antimullerian hormone (AMH), which is corresponded to the number of antral follicles. Significant variations of aromatase activity of antral follicles in patients with PCOS were determined: in 34.1 % of women it was within physiological ranges, in 48.8 % of women it was decreased and in 17.1 % of women it was increased. Aromatase activity of antral follicles in patients with PCOS correlated with blood levels of estradiol (r = 0.67), estron (r = 0.27), free testosterone(r = 0.43), androstendion (r = 0.34) and body mass index (r = 0.30). Aromatase activity had reverse correlation with number of antral follicles. Athors suggest that the sensitivity of the ovaries to gonadotropinic stimulation is decreased in patients with PCOS and low aromatase activity.

Background : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of infertility in reproductive-age women , it is an important harbinger of metabolic disorders. It has been reported that hyperamylasemia can be used as marker of ovarian cancer patients . The current study was conducted to evaluate amylase activity and to estimate the correlation of this enzyme with insulin and insulin resistance in PCOS patients. Methods: This study was conducted on forty five patients with PCOS in comparison to twenty five women as control. Fasting blood sample was taken from each subject and analyzed for amylase activity , FSH,LH, Insulin , proteins, and blood sugar , meanwhile insulin resistance was determined by HOMA-IR index. Results: The results of the study showed a significant increase (p

PCOS means polycystic ovarian Syndrome PCOS affects 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age In Ayurvedic classics, cārya Kāśyapa mentioned PCOS in terms of 'Pupaghni Revatī. He narrated that woman who observes her fruitless menstruation in appropriate time, has corpulent and hairy cheeks, she is also (seized with) called as Pupaghni Revatī. The present clinical trial by trans cervical route by Śatāvhādi Tail based on the classical reference in Ashtang Samgraha The ingredients of Śatāvhādi Tail are viz, śatāvhā, Saŗśapa, Ajavāyan, Śigru,Hingu, Kustha, Mandanaphala, processed in Mustard oil. It has been given by Uttarbasti module. All the ingredients are mainly Katu Ras Usna Virya and Usna Tikshna Guna. The 30 married female recruited this clinical trial who received Śatāvhādi Tail 5-7 ml trancervical route at Bharati Vidyapeeth(D.U) College of Ayurved and Hospital, Katraj Dhanakawadi , Pune 43.The results assessed in terms of USG (Ovarian volume and no of follicles), LH:FSH Ratio and S.Testesterone and subjective parameter Sthula Lomash Ganda (Corupurulent hair on cheek) and Arthavkshaya. It showed effect on hormonal level {LH, FSH} but slight effect on serum

We report a case of right adnexal torsion during pregnancy after an oocyte in vitro maturation and intracitoplasmic sperm injection cycle in patient with polycystic ovary syndrome. A 31-year-old woman with a typical clinical disorder of polycystic ovarian syndrome was included in an oocyte in vitro maturation program. Right adnexal torsion occurred two days after embryo transfer, and laparoscopy detorsion was successfully performed with preservation of adnexa. The patient had a full-term pregnancy and delivered a healthy infant at 40 weeks of gestation. To our knowledge this is the first report of adnexal torsion after an oocyte in vitro maturation and intracitoplasmic sperm injection program.
