Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by hormone imbalances that lead to excessive androgen production and affects both adolescents and adults.
- A study analyzing 212 PCOS patients at a tertiary hospital between July 2014 and September 2022 showed common symptoms included irregular menstruation and hirsutism, along with several comorbidities like diabetes and endometriosis.
- Most patients were prescribed medroxyprogesterone acetate or oral contraceptives, but some switched medications due to side effects or lack of effectiveness, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and personalized treatment plans.
