Polycystic ovary disease (PCOD) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects 6% to 10% of women of reproductive age. It is not only accompanied with negative physical consequences, but this syndrome also affects psycho-social and sexual well-being. The aim of the present study was to assess the problems faced, coping modalities adopted and quality of life of female students with polycystic ovarian disease at M.M University, Mullana (Ambala).Quantitative research approach with Non experimental, descriptive exploratory survey design was used. Total 1383 female students were selected by proportionate random sampling technique. Out of total sample 56 students were included for further study of variables those who are diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease. The findings of the study revealed that less than half (48.2%) of the female students were in the age group of 21-23 years and majority (80.4%) were pursuing graduation. More than half (55.4%) of the female students had information regarding polycystic ovarian disease and their major source of information is friends (33.9%) and mass media (30.4%) respectively. Majority (96.4%) of the female students had no family history of polycystic ovarian disease. Results further revealed that majority of the female students (92.5%) were facing the problem of Irregular menstrual periods followed by Hirsutism (83.9%) whereas only (3.6%) were facing problem of infertility. Majority (97.1%) of the female students had adopted the coping modalities for pelvic pain which were allopathic medicine (86.5%) followed by home remedies (32.4%)and for hirsutism (93.6%) which were waxing (92.5) and threading (82.6%).The quality of life among female students with Polycystic ovarian disease was assessed in five aspects which were Emotional, Body Hair, Weight, Infertility problem, Menstrual problem. The lowest mean percentage(63.69%) was observed for body hairs which was the most problematic area whereas the highest mean percentage(89.58%) was observed for infertility problem which was the least problematic area on quality of life among female students. The study concluded that most of the female students have adopted coping modalities for physical symptoms because they were considered it as a most problematic area affected their quality of life.

Polycystic ovary syndrome predisposes alterations which contribute to the reduction of quality of life. This randomized controlled clinical trial study was to evaluate the effect of two protocols of aerobic exercise on quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Women were allocated to three groups: continuous aerobic training ( n = 28), intermittent aerobic training ( n = 29), and control group (no training; n = 30). Testosterone levels, body composition indices, and quality of life were assessed at baseline and after 16 weeks of intervention. Both protocols were effective to improve testosterone levels, anthropometric indices, and quality of life in polycystic ovary syndrome women. Thus, these protocols should be included in the clinical environment to improve clinical parameters psychological, biological and social health to this population.

This study aimed to examine the relationships between activity restriction, quality of life (QoL), and hematopoietic profile in breast cancer survivors according to exercise modality. The subjects in this study were 187 female breast cancer survivors among a total of 32,631 participants in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted from 2016 to 2018. The selected subjects participated in a questionnaire survey and blood analysis. A cross-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between participation in various modality of exercise (e.g., aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, walking exercise). The phi coefficients or Cramer’s V value for activity restriction and QoL were calculated; an independent t-test was conducted to evaluate the differences between hematopoietic profiles based on the modality of exercise. Statistically significant correlations were seen between obesity and aerobic exercise and walking frequency, as well as between diabetes and aerobic exercise and activity restriction. With respect to QoL, there was a statistically significant correlation between participation in aerobic exercise and exercise ability, participation in aerobic exercise and anxiety/depression, participation in resistance exercise and subjective health status, participation in resistance exercise and exercise ability, and participation in weekly walking exercise and self-care ability. Regarding hemodynamic changes, red blood cells increased significantly in breast cancer survivors who participated in weekly resistance exercise compared to in those who did not. In conclusion, exercise participation had a positive effect on activity restriction, QoL, and hematopoietic profile in breast cancer survivors; in particular, some modalities of aerobic exercise were more effective.
