Aim: The present study aimed to assess thecharacteristics and impact of polycystic ovarian syndrome onthe fertility of women attending outpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology. Materials and methods: The prospective cross-sectional investigation was conducted at the department of obstetrics and gynaecology. The selection criteria were followed to identify a total of 80 PCOS patients as the study population. All participants were administered a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of the following components: knowledge assessment, anthropometric assessment and clinical history. The menstrual history included irregularity and the presence of oligomenorrhea after two years of menarche, as well as an assessment of hirsutism/androgen production (specifically, skin problems and hair distribution). SPSS software is employed to conduct data analysis. Results : The age group of 21-25 years comprised the majority of the patients (46.25%). The average age of the patients was approximately 23.94 years. The mean BMI of the patients was approximately 24.89 kg/m², with 38.7% of them being overweight. Ultrasonography detected PCOS in approximately all individuals. All patients underwent FLP. Hirsutism was observed in 68.7% of the 80 patients with PCOS who participated in our study. 13.7% of the patients exhibited androgenic features, including acne, 11.2% of the patients exhibited acanthosis nigricans, and 6.25% of the patients exhibited androgenic alopecia. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our study was 15.0%. Menstrual irregularity was the most prevalent complaint in this investigation. Spearman's correlation between a variety of clinical and laboratory parameters demonstrated a positive correlation between testosterone and body mass index (BMI). Conclusion: Oligomenorrhea was the most prevalent manifestation. Women who are obese and have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) experience more severe ovulatory dysfunction and require additional attention to ensure that they are appropriately managed. Early diagnosis is crucial for the implementation of lifestyle modifications that will prevent metabolic and reproductive complications. |
