Clinical and Demographic Characteristics of Patients Diagnosed With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study

This study examined the clinical and demographic characteristics of 48 patients diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at a hospital clinic. The average age of participants was 23 years, with a mean body mass index of 26.1 kg/m². Irregular menstruation was the most common reason for clinic visits (83.3%), and the most frequently observed PCOS phenotype was group A (47.9%). Lifestyle modification was the preferred treatment (75.0%), followed by oral contraceptives (45.8%). The study highlights that PCOS is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women of all ages, with lifestyle changes and oral contraceptives being common treatment options.
