Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Abstract

The complex condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. Depending on diagnostic criteria, 6–20% of females in reproductive age are afflicted. PCOS symptoms start to appear in the early pubertal years. Acne, anovulation, and irregular menstrual periods are features of PCOS and pubertal development in the average girl. The complex intertwined pathophysiology makes it difficult to identify the provoking factors. Most available scientific information communicates findings and outcomes in person to women. Different diagnostic criteria for PCOS in adolescent females have been defined, despite the Rotterdam guidelines for girls being frequently used. Menstrual irregularity, scientific hyperandrogenism, and/or hyperandrogenemia are diagnostic indicators in adolescent girls. Pelvic ultrasound findings aren't wanted for the diagnosis of PCOS in adolescent ladies.
