Skin Lesions in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder in women, characterized by various hormonal and metabolic disturbances, including hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and disruptions in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. This study focuses on the skin lesions often associated with PCOS, resulting from these disturbances. The diagnosis of PCOS is based on the presence of two out of three criteria: excess of androgen hormones, infrequent or absent ovulation, and the ultrasound image of polycystic ovaries, while other diseases are ruled out.
