“…Estos autores señalan un posible efecto de la intervención médica en sus vidas, ya que posterior al tratamiento encontraron mejoría en las mediciones realizadas. Sin embargo, los resultados señalan que no existe relación entre severidad clínica de la enfermedad y calidad de vida, lo que estaría indicando que es la percepción que las adolescentes tienen de su enfermedad lo que impacta en forma negativa la CVRS (2).…”

RESUMENEl síndrome de ovario poliquístico (SOP) afecta entre un 5-10% de las mujeres en edad reproductiva y constituye la endocrinopatía más frecuente de la población adolescente de nuestro país. Su diversa sintomatología puede provocar un impacto en la calidad de vida de las mujeres, lo que amenaza la identidad femenina en ellas. Esta revisión bibliográfica tiene como objetivo conocer de qué manera el SOP afecta la calidad de vida de las mujeres. La literatura señala que al comparar la calidad de vida entre mujeres sanas y con SOP, éstas últimas presentan un deterioro en diversos dominios estudiados con instrumentos generales. Al ser evaluada la calidad de vida de mujeres con SOP, por medio de un instrumento específico para dicha patología, los dominios más afectados fueron: el área de problemas menstruales, emociones y vello corporal. Investigaciones que evalúan el efecto de la sintomatología del SOP por separado en la calidad de vida de las mujeres señalan igualmente un impacto negativo. Se concluye en base a esta revisión que el SOP afecta la calidad de vida en sus diferentes dimensiones, por lo que se postula la importancia de evaluar este parámetro en las mujeres afectadas y la necesidad de que los profesionales de la salud lo consideren al momento de evaluar la intervención realizada.PALABRAS CLAVES: Síndrome de ovario poliquístico, calidad de vida SUMMARY Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has a prevalence of 5-10% in women of reproductive age, and constitutes the most frequent endocrine disease among teenagers in our country. Its very diverse clinical manifestations can impact women's quality of life, which can also be responsible of jeopardizing their female identity. The objective of this study is to know how polycystic ovary syndrome affects quality of life among women. In comparison to normal women, literature suggests that the ones suffering from PQOS appear to have a degree of deterioration in different domains studied with general instruments. The quality of life of women having PQOS was evaluated, using a specific instrument for this pathology. The domains found to be most affected were: menstrual problems, emotional aspects and body hair. Other investigations which separately evaluate clinical manifestations of PQOS from quality of life equally suggest a negative impact. Based on this study, it is concluded that PCOS affects women's quality of life in a multidimensional way, therefore its importance of evaluating this parameter in affected women. It also outlines the need of health professionals to consider this at the time of evaluating a given intervention.KEY WORDS: Polycystic ovary syndrome, quality of life Documentos

“…Adolescent girls with PCOS, similar to adult PCOS are at an increased risk of developing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome (glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and central obesity). 8 The symptoms and signs that define this condition often overlap with the physiological changes of the reproductive axis that occur in normal girls during this period. 9 Altered life style that includes high calorie diet and lack of exercise has been well recognized as a exacerbating factor.…”

“…10 Association between stress and PCOS has also been documented. 8,11 Obesity exacerbates insulin resistance and favours the progression from impaired glucose tolerance to diabetes in these patients. The familial clustering of women with PCOS suggests that heredity is implicated in the origin of the syndrome.…”

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common female endocrine disorder which is often diagnosed during late adolescence, with anovulation and hyperandrogenism. Adolescent girls with PCOS, are at an increased risk for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Early diagnosis and early intervention may prevent long term sequelae and improve quality of life. The objectives were to study the effectiveness of lifestyle modification package among overweight and obese adolescent girls between 15-19 years with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods: In this study 144 adolescent girls (postmenarchal by 2 years) diagnosed as PCOS as per Rotterdam criteria after ruling out other causes of menstrual abnormality listed in the exclusion criteria, were selected. Informed consent taken from the participant or their parent if less than 18 years. Their anthropometric measurements and their menstrual cycles recorded at the beginning of the study and a lifestyle modification package including dietary modification and exercise, given to each of them. Participants were followed up telephonically every month to know their compliance towards the intervention program along with reinforcement of the package. After 6 months of intervention they were reviewed to assess the effectiveness of the intervention package.Results: Significant weight loss was seen in 66.4% of the participants and15.2% had weight stabilization (weight gain <1.5kg). There was significant change in BMI with mean change in BMI 1.9. 58.4% of the girls improved their menstrual cycle after 6 months. There was significant reduction in body fat% and W/H ratio.Conclusions: Lifestyle modification is a simple, cost effective treatment in the management of overweight and obese adolescent PCOS in improving their BMI and regularization of menstrual cycles.

“…Several studies have shown that PCOS has a negative impact on the quality of life of adult women but also of adolescent girls with this condition [3][4][5][6][7]. Jones et al [5] found emotional and social functioning more affected than the areas of physical functioning.…”

Introduction: Clinical and hormonal features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which may be present already in adolescence, can significantly influence the psychological development and wellbeing of a young woman. The aim of this pilot study was to determine social competence and gender roles in adolescent girls with PCOS compared to healthy peers, and to evaluate the relationship between psychological profile and clinical and hormonal components of PCOS. Material and methods:In 28 adolescent girls with PCOS, and 12 healthy regularly menstruating girls, clinical evaluation and hormonal profile were assessed and social competence inventory (SCI) and psychological gender inventory (PGI) tests were performed. Results: There were no significant differences in all parts of SCI in absolute numbers or in sten scores between the study and the control group. Also in PGI, in both the feminine and masculine gender schemes, the differences between the groups were statistically insignificant. In the study group, DHEAS concentration correlated positively with self presentation score (r = 0.4, p = 0.03). There was also a significant negative correlation between testosterone level and SCI score (r = -0.5, p = 0.01) as well as assertiveness score (r = -0.5, p = 0.02). No significant correlations between SCI or PGI with BMI z-score or hirsutism score were found.
