  • Introduction: pcos patients are not always markedly overweight but pcos is stongly associated with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. effective approashes to nutrition and excercise improve endocrine features, reproductive function and cardiometabolic risk profile. even without marked weight loss, recent studies allow us to make recommendations on macronutrient intake.
  • Methods: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) and hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) are the two most common etiologies of anovulation in women. pcos or polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that occurs during the reproductive age females. it manifests in the form of a wide range of symptoms including (but not limited to) hirsutism, amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, obesity, acne vulgaris, infertility, alopecia and insulin resistance. the incidence of depression in pcos population is increasing as compared to the general population.
  • Results: previous studies have found that there are specific changes in the intestinal flora of p c s patients, and interventions to modify the intestinal flora can significantly improve the symptoms of pcos. women with pcos have a higher incidence of vaginitis compared to healthy women. few studies to- date have focused on investigating vaginal flora.
  • Conclusion: during pregnancy, gestational diabetes. and gestational hypertensive disorders can occur. at an older age, metabolic disease such as glucose intolerance, type2 diabetes or dyslipidaemia are frequently described. women with pcos have increased classical cardiovascular risks and increased subclinical cardio-vascular disease without proven increase of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
