II. Epidemiology

  1. Prevalence: 7-13% of reproductive-aged women in U.S. (most common endocrinopathy in this group)
  2. Subset of girls born Small for Gestational Age (SGA) will develop prepubertal PCOS
    1. Rapid catch-up weight gain (marker that can result in early diagnosis)
    2. Precocious Puberty
    3. Metabolic Syndrome or Insulin Resistance
    4. Visceral fat deposition

III. Pathophysiology

  1. History
    1. First described by Stein and Leventhal in 1935
  2. Contributing Factors
    1. Obesity and hyperinsulinemia (Insulin Resistance)
    2. Increased adrenal function
  3. Androgen Excess (Hyperandrogenism)

Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) happens when a woman's ovaries or adrenal glands produce more male hormones than normal. One result is that cysts (fluid-filled sacs) develop on the ovaries. Women who are obese are more likely to have polycystic ovary syndrome.

Symptoms of PCOS include:

  • Infertility
  • Pelvic pain
  • Excess hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, thumbs, or toes
  • Baldness or thinning hair
  • Acne, oily skin, or dandruff
  • Patches of thickened dark brown or black skin

Women with PCOS are at higher risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and high blood pressure.Medicines can help control the symptoms. Birth control pills help women have normal periods, reduce male hormone levels, and clear acne. Other medicines can reduce hair growth and control blood pressure and cholesterol. There is no cure.

NIH: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
Definition (NCI) A disorder that manifests as multiple cysts on the ovaries. It results in hormonal imbalances and leads to irregular and abnormal menstrual periods, excess growth of hair, acne eruptions and obesity.
Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A condition marked by infertility, enlarged ovaries, menstrual problems, high levels of male hormones, excess hair on the face and body, acne, and obesity. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and endometrial cancer.
Definition (NCI) A non-neoplastic disorder characterized by bilateral polycystic and enlarged ovaries. Clinical signs include amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, infertility, obesity, hirsutism, and virilism.
Definition (MSH) A complex disorder characterized by infertility, HIRSUTISM; OBESITY; and various menstrual disturbances such as OLIGOMENORRHEA; AMENORRHEA; ANOVULATION. Polycystic ovary syndrome is usually associated with bilateral enlarged ovaries studded with atretic follicles, not with cysts. The term, polycystic ovary, is misleading.
Definition (CSP) clinical symptom complex characterized by presence of multiple cysts on the ovaries, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, anovulation and regularly associated with excessive amounts of body hair (hirsuitism), excessive body weight, infertility and insulin resistance.
