Investigation of Prevalence and Awareness of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome among Pakistani Females
Proceedings of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences: B. Life and Environmental Sciences
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a polygenic, endocrine disorder causing ovarian dysfunction. This syndrome encompasses a broad spectrum of phenotypic expression due to heterogeneity. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and phenotypic factors contributing to the onset of PCOS in Pakistani women. Participating females (n=130) were recruited from different regions of Pakistan explicitly those who were trying to conceive for years. We designed a questionnaire having different subsections comprising questions related to psychological and environmental aspects linked with PCOS. We also analyzed the proportion of women having prior awareness about the genetic basis of the disease. The retrieved data was analyzed through SPSS V.21 by employing descriptive statistics. A Chi-square test was used to establish a correlation between PCOS and associated symptoms. Our findings suggest that factors like obesity, facial and abdomen hair growth, irregular periods, menstrual flow, cramp...

PCOS is an endocrine disease that occurs in women of reproductive age which is characterized by several clinical manifestations such as hyperandrogen, ovarian dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian features on ultrasound examination. PCOS is an endocrine disease that is closely related to metabolic diseases such as dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Risk factors for this disease are age, environment, genetics, body mass index (BMI), and androgen exposure. The purpose of this study is to determine the profile of PCOS in Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. This study used a descriptive retrospective method, using medical record data at the obstetrical clinic at Soetomo General Hospital and fertility clinic at Graha Amerta. Most patients were found in the age range of 25-44 years. Based on the diagnosis of Rotterdam criteria, the phenotype D (Oligo / Amenorrhea and SOPK on USG) was the highest phenotype.

Prevalence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Cureus
Stein-Leventhal syndrome, often known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), is a syndrome that affects women's reproductive health. PCOS is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders in women of reproductive age. The etiology of PCOS remains unknown mainly, and the estimation of PCOS burden in a specific geographical location will impact disease control strategies. Hence, this study estimated the pooled prevalence of PCOS in Indian women. Databases such as PubMed, CINHAL, Scopus, and Google Scholar were thoroughly searched. Only those published Indian studies that reported the prevalence of PCOS from 2010 to 2021 and had at least one of the following diagnostic PCOS criteria were included in the systematic review: the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Rotterdam's criteria, or/and Androgen Excess Society (AES). MetaXL version 5.3 software was used for data analysis. The risk of bias was assessed using modified Joanna Briggs Institute criteria for cross-sectional studies. Out of 17132 articles, 11 articles were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of PCOS was 11.33(7.69-15.59) using the random effect. The proportion of Hirsute using the Ferriman-Gallwey score was highly variable, ranging from 1.6% to 37.9% (n=6). The prevalence rate of PCOS is high among Indian women. The pooled prevalence of PCOS was close to 10% using Rotterdam's criteria and AES criteria, while it was 5.8% using NIH criteria. The study's overall finding emphasizes the need for more acceptable and uniform diagnostic criteria for screening PCOS. At the same time, policy-makers should consider giving more importance to PCOS in their effort to control non-communicable diseases.
