“…In our study 12 out of 72 (16.6%) of women with PCOS has metabolic syndrome where as in study by Joshi et al it was 1 out of 135 and in study by Deswal et al it was 6.01% [14,20] . In our study infertility and depression was seen in 73.6% and 65.3% where as in study by Deswal et al it was 18.1% and 61.7% respectively [21] . Although psychosocial problem was the second most common comorbidity in women with PCOS it was least addressed.…”

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome causes irregular menstrual cycles, excessive body or facial hair and polycystic ovaries. Prevalence ranges from 2.2% to 26% globally, as it is not defined precisely. This is a community based study in the reproductive age women (15-45years) to correctly assess prevalence of PCOS and health effects in women with PCOS. Material and Methods: Cross sectional study done in 624 Reproductive age women (15-45 years) in a rural area. Data collected by interview method, clinical examination of which 182 women (with signs suggestive of PCOS) got biochemical and ultrasound to establish diagnosis of PCOS and health effects were studied. Data analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Prevalence of PCOS was 72(11.5%). Infertility followed by psychosocial problems was the most common health effects. Conclusion:Although infertility was seen in 73.6% of women with PCOS, only 18% received treatment in the past, due to under diagnosis and lack of accessibility.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complicated neuro-endocrinal, reproductive, and metabolic condition. It encompasses patterns such as hyperandrogenism, recurrent cysts triggered by steroidogenic functional aberrations in the ovaries, overweight, chronic inflammation, and more. The underlying cause of this heterogeneous illness is obscure, although it is suspected to be driven by a blend of environmental and hereditary factors. In recent years, the connection between the microbiome and PCOS has been acknowledged and is thought to be involved in the genesis of the syndrome's emergence. Microbiota vary in different pathological features of PCOS, and fundamental pathways linked to their involvement in the commencement of diverse clinical presentations in PCOS open up a new avenue for its management. Prebiotic, probiotic, synbiotic, and fecal-microbiota-transplant, by promoting eubiosis and nullifying the effect caused by the altered microbial profile in PCOS women, can aid in management of diverse phenotypes associated with the syndrome. These microbiotamediated treatments improve PCOS women's metabolic, inflammatory, and hormonal profiles. However, more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms that drive this positive effect.

Context: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition affecting women in the prime of reproductive age. The symptoms include infertility, amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and androgenic alopecia. It is a socially stigmatizing condition and is often associated with depression, poor mental health, and quality of life. Settings and Design: We carried out a questionnaire based cross sectional study that assessed the prevalence of PCOS, collected information on the nutritional and life style related factors. A questionnaire was used to collect information with an intention to assess the prevalence of PCOS and to understand the contribution of life style/nutrition to the risk of PCOS. Student’s t test and Z proportion test were used to assess significance and a ‘p’ value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 972 females completed the questionnaire (mean age:24.37±8.37 years). Majority were from Telangana (n=823;84.67%) and students (690;70.98%). The mean weight was 60.58±13.03 kg and height was 1.78±2.56 m. Sizeable proportion reported irregular menstrual cycle (n=289;29.73%), that they get easily depressed: 283/972 (29.11%), low self-esteem:242/972 (24.90%), insomnia:223/972 (22.94%). A higher proportion of females were diabetic (8/243;3.29%Vs.10/706;1.42%;p=0.02) and non-vegetarian (69/243;28.40%Vs.119/706;16.86%;p=0.0002). No difference in the consumption of processed/fast food, carbonated drinks and lifestyle were noted. A significantly (p=0.0001) higher proportion of females had a positive family history (32/243;13.17%Vs.26/706;3.68%). Conclusion: Higher prevalence of PCOS was noted in young female population. Identifying at-risk individuals and imparting life style, nutrition-based modifications would be beneficial. Furthermore, regular counseling sessions might help tackle depression leading to a better overall physical and mental health.
