Abstract

PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is a clinical condition arising from the interaction of various endocrinal, biochemical, and pathological events and usually results in complaints as signs of metabolic disturbances such as impaired glucose tolerance, amenorrhea, HA (hyperandrogenemia), and/or infertility. Aim: The present study was aimed at evaluating the ultrasonographic, endocrinal, and clinical profile of cases with PCOS married females at an Indian tertiary care center. Methods: The study assessed 200 married females who had confirmed diagnosis of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) using the criteria by Rotterdam. In all the 200 studies females' ultrasonographic, endocrinal, and clinical profiles were assessed. The data was statistically analyzed for results formulation. Results: The majority of the study females were in the age range of 20-24 years with 47% (n=94) females. The mean age of the females was 23.67±4.46 years. 48% (n=96) study females were obese. Nearly 86% of females had oligomenorrhea and 50% of females presented with features of hyperandrogenism. In 54% of females, serum testosterone levels were high. Concerning three Rotterdam criteria, 46% had hyperandrogenism, 83% had USG suggesting PCOS and the majority had irregular cycles (chronic anovulation). The association between obesity, acanthosis nigricans, and hyperandrogenism was statistically significant with p<0.005. Conclusions: The present study concludes that features and complaints of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in females should be given high importance as timely intervention can delay the development and progression of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). As PCOS< is a complex entity that is not clearly defined, it requires proper monitoring. There is a need to spread the vital role of weight reduction and symptom identification in the management of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).
