PCOS and quality of life

Abstract

Objective: To determine the quality of life in women with PCOS according to the phenotype of the disease using the PCOS quality of life questionnaire. Material and method: Simple random-probabilistic comparative survey design in women with PCOS according to the phenotype by the Rotterdam criteria. Results: 49 women with PCOS were included, of which they were divided into 4 groups according to the phenotype of the disease. Significant differences were observed in the dimensions of body hair and menstruation (p <0.001 and 0.047, respectively). Conclusion: Given that the phenotypes of PCOS differ in their clinical characteristics, it is considered important to highlight that these characteristics affect dif- ferent aspects of the quality of life of women with PCOS.
