“…Against our expectations, we found no effects of either the present wish to conceive or anxiety about remaining without children. Except for two studies (10,16), little is know about the role of infertility in psychosocial functioning and quality-of-life in PCOS. One of these studies (10) documented that concerns about infertility were associated with reductions in quality-of-life in adolescent girls with PCOS.…”

“…increased risk for diabetes). Several previous studies in women with PCOS support the role of several individual PCOS symptoms, including obesity (11,12,14,17,19), infertility (10,16,17), hirsutism (20), hyperandrogenism (15) and insulin resistance (11) in the modulation of psychological variables. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation of major PCOS symptoms with quality-of-life, psychosocial well-being and sexual satisfaction.…”

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been shown to cause a reduction in quality of life. This study examines the extent of different PCOS symptoms on quality-of-life, psychosocial wellbeing and sexual satisfaction. Methods: Complete metabolic, hormonal, clinical and psychosocial data were obtained from a total of 120 women with PCOS. Patients were compared with 50 healthy women to establish reductions in quality-of-life and emotional well-being. In addition, the correlation between psychosocial variables and the major clinical PCOS features obesity (body mass index (BMI)), excessive body hair (hirsutism score), acne, hyperandrogenism (serum testosterone levels), disturbed insulin regulation (area under the insulin response curve and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance), menstrual cycle disturbances and infertility were analyzed. Results: PCOS patients showed significant reductions in quality-of-life, increased psychological disturbances, and decreased sexual satisfaction when compared with healthy controls. BMI and hirsutism scores, but not the presence of acne, were associated with physical aspects of quality-of-life and sexual satisfaction. No clear effect of androgens or insulin resistance on psychosocial variables was detected. Similarly, the type of menstrual cycle disturbances or infertility had no impact on psychological well-being. Conclusion: In PCOS, changes in appearance, particularly obesity and hirsutism, reduce physical dimensions of quality-of-life and decrease sexual satisfaction. The role of biochemical, endocrine and metabolic parameters as well as menstrual irregularities and infertility appeared to be less important. Clinicians should pay attention to the psychosocial dimensions of PCOS on an individual basis, regardless of symptom severity or treatment response. 153 853-860 European Journal of Endocrinology

“…Youths with PCOS were included to provide a comparison group with a gynecological condition presenting in adolescence and also associated with menstrual and fertility problems. In contrast with the patients with MRKHS, the sample of youths with PCOS was characterized by mild expression of this heterogeneous condition, but a different range of significant psychological problems was documented, although milder than those reported in earlier studies [39]. However, counseling services should be offered for adolescents with PCOS along with the gynecological investigation and management.…”

“…Az eredmények szerint a PCOS negatív hatással van a nők szexuális működésére, és csök-kent szexuális elégedettségről számolnak be a kontrollcsoporthoz képest [8,31]. Elsenbruch és mtsai tanulmá-nya alapján, bár a betegek és az egészséges kontrollok között nem volt különbség a családi állapotban, valamint a szexuális aktivitásban, de a kontrollhoz képest szignifikánsan kevésbé voltak elégedettek a szexuális életükkel és kevésbé találták vonzónak magukat.…”

A policisztásovárium-szindróma a reprodukciós korban lévő nők leggyakoribb endokrin megbetegedése, amely a különböző anyagcserezavarok és szövődmények fokozott kockázatával társul. Emellett a legújabb kutatási eredmé-nyek szerint a policisztásovárium-szindrómában szenvedő nők különösen ki vannak téve különböző pszichológiai problémáknak. A betegség bizonyítottan negatívan hat női identitásukra, valamint jelentősen hozzájárul az életminő-ség romlásához és az esetleges pszichiátriai problémák kialakulásához. A betegség mentális következményei ugyanannyira nyomasztóak lehetnek, mint a fi ziológiai tünetek. Ez felhívja a fi gyelmet arra, hogy a kórkép terápiás szempontból is jelentős, és indokolt lehet pszichológus, esetleg pszichiáter bevonása a kezelés eredményesebbé tétele érdekében. A közlemény célja, hogy röviden összefoglalja a betegséghez társuló leggyakoribb pszichológiai tünete-ket. Orv.

It is associated with increased risks of various metabolic disorders and complications. most recent data suggest that women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome are most exposed to several psychological problems. It has been shown that polycystic ovary syndrome exerts a negative impact on female identity and it contributes to the deterioration of quality of life and, eventually, to development of psychiatric problems. The mental consequences of the disease can be as depressing as physiological symptoms. This draws attention on the importance of the disease from the aspect of therapy as well and, therefore, it may be justifi ed to involve a psychologist or psychiatrist in the process for a more effective treatment. The aim of the paper is to summarize the most frequqent psychological symptoms associated with the disease. A PCOS legfontosabb tünetei felnőttkorban, gyakorisági sorrendben [2]: 1. meddőség 74%, 2. hirsutismus 68%, 3. vérzési rendellenesség 52%, 4. elhízás 44%. Számos tanulmány igazolta, hogy a különböző anyagcserezavarok és szövődmények fokozott rizikójával társul (menstruációs zavarok, hirsutismus, infertilitás, vetélés, hypertonia, dyslipidaemia, cardiovascularis betegség, endometriumcarcinoma, metabolikus szindróma, hyperinsulinaemia/inzulinrezisztencia, obesitas, gyakoribb 2-es típusú diabetes mellitus) [2].
