Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is common and often causes infertility in women of childbearing age. This study adopted the method of bibliometrics to analyze the current research status of research on PCOS and infertility.
Method: We conducted a literature search based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database. All records of search results were exported and the records were cited r in plain text format to generate source files for analysis. CiteSpace software was then used to analyze the source files. The content of the analysis included: annual changes in the number of publications, the distribution of the countries and institutions of the authors of the literature, the distribution of the journals from which the literature was sourced, the distribution of authors, and the use of keywords.
Results: There were a total of 2,716 documents retrieved, and the frequency of citations was 86,817. Both the number of documents and the number of citations showed an annually increasing trend. In this field of research, the United States was in a leading position, with many important research institutions and researchers. Emphasis was placed on top-level journals in the field of reproduction and top-level comprehensive journals. The use of keywords changed over time: in recent years, popular keywords included meta-analysis, follicular fluid, oxidative stress, and diagnostic criteria.
Conclusions: There are obvious regional differences in PCOS and infertility research. International cooperation, especially cooperation with developing countries, should be strengthened.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder affecting women of childbearing age, and we aimed to reveal its underlying molecular mechanisms. Gene expression profiles from GSE138518 and GSE155489, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from PRJNA600740 were collected and subjected to bioinformatics analysis to identify the complex molecular mechanisms of PCOS. The expression of genes was detected by RT-qPCR.

This study aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) with metformin in enhancing ovarian function, promoting ovulation, and reducing perceived stress in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS were identified using the Androgen Excess Society's criteria, and 60 participants were enrolled and divided equally into two groups. One group received a 40:1 ratio of MI plus DCI, while the other received metformin for a 12-week period.

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological condition affecting individuals of reproductive age and is linked to the gut microbiome. This study aimed to identify the hotspots and research trends within the domain of the gut microbiome in PCOS through bibliometric analysis.
Methods: Utilizing bibliometric techniques, we examined the literature on the gut microbiome in PCOS from the Web of Science Core Collection spanning the period from 2012 to 2023.
