Abstract
A complex mixed condition is what is known as polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS. A variety of clinical features similar to heterogeneous clinical signs and symptoms, such as obesity, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, infertility and hyperandrogenic disorders, as well as chronic anovulation, polycystic ovaries and hyperandrogenism (clinical or biochemical) are its defining characteristics. The current study’s objectives are to examine the clinical profiles of PCOS patients and to assess and investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who are in the reproductive age range. The cross‐sectional study ran from February‐January 2021‐2022. One hundred sixty two women in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics who are in the reproductive age range of 15‐49 years old. K.P.C. Hospital and Medical College, Jadavpur. We discovered that 8 (11.11%) of the 162 female patients had a positive family history of PCOS, with 12 of them having sisters with the condition and 6 having moms. A family history of hypertension was present in just 26.54% of patients. There was a family history of diabetes mellitus in 79 patients. Just 17% of the patients had dyslipidemia in their families. Forty three individuals reported a history of “obesity” in either their mother or father. Of the study participants, 45.10 percent reported having a positive family history of metabolic syndrome. The finding is statistically significant with a pvalue of less than 0.00001. This study emphasizes how important it is for women with PCOS who visit the outpatient department to have a thorough metabolic syndrome examination. A frequent disorder among women in the reproductive age range, PCOS is the reason for 1 in 4 patient visits to gynecologists. Metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome and screening.
