Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive aged women. It is typically characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. Women with PCOS often experience dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism, including hirsutism, acne vulgaris, and androgenic alopecia. This article will review the treatments for acne due to androgen excess in PCOS women.Keywords:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive health problem among women worldwide.It is associated with androgen excess, anovulation, abnormal menstruation, and sub-infertility.Other manifestations of PCOS are acne, abnormal hair growth, alopecia, and male-pattern baldness.Women with PCOS are more likely to develop many metabolic and reproductive health consequences that include miscarriage, gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders,

Hyperandrogenism refers to classical androgen-dependent signs such as hirsutism, acne and androgenetic alopecia. Disorders that result in androgen excess include specific identifiable disorders (i.e. disorders of inclusion), but the great majority of women presenting with hirsutism and other symptoms or signs of hyperandrogenism suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hirsutism is the main hyperandrogenic symptom, defined as an excess of body hair in androgen-sensitive regions of skin in women. In this review, I attempt to focus on the pathogenesis of hirsutism, as well as clinical and biochemical features that are important in choosing therapeutic options. PCOS is the most common disorder of premenopausal women, affecting 4 to 8% of this population, and therefore, diagnostic issues of PCOS in Korean women will be addressed, specifically the reproductive and metabolic derangements and criteria for hyperandrogenism based on hirsutism and serum androgen concentrations.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an incurable disorder that is associated with ovarian dysfunction. It affects millions of women in the UK. The signs and symptoms of PCOS include ovarian cysts, acne and excess hair growth (hirsutism), and can have a negative effect on the self-esteem of women with the condition. PCOS is also a potential cause of reduced fertility. This article uses a case study approach to discuss the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and diagnosis of PCOS, as well as complications, treatment and psychosocial implications of the condition.

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common endocrine disorder affecting 5% to 10% of women in reproductive age all over the world. Many comorbidities have been associated with PCOS including infertility, obesity, depression, anxiety, hirsutism, alopecia, and sexu al dysfunctions. In this paper, we have reviewed the available Indian and international literature regarding psychiatric and sexual comorbidities of PCOS. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and other databases were used to conduct the search. Research published in English was included. We searched the databases using the terms ‘polycystic ovary syndrome’, ‘PCOS’, ‘infertility and PCOS’, ‘sexual dysfunctions and PCOS’, etc. Results: For this review, we could find about 90 papers pertaining to the subject. Most of them focused on the effect of infertility and symptoms of PCOS such as hirsutism on body image and sexual dysfunctions. Meta-analyses showed that women with PCOS had poor rates of sexual desire, orgasm, and lubrication. Body image often had a negative impact on sexual thoughts and fantasies. Conclusion: Focus on sexual dysfunctions in PCOS has been emphasized only recently after high rates of its prevalence have been found. Hence, management of PCOS involves a multidisciplinary approach where proper assessment and management of sexual dysfunctions should be given its due importance.

Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is a common pathologic condition of women in reproductive age, resulted from abnormalities in endocrine and glucose metabolism. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation infertility. Oral compound contraceptives have been gradually used to treat PCOS with a good effect, so it becomes the first option to treat PCOS for present.[

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic conditions in childbearing women. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and morphology of polycystic ovaries. Clinical signs of hyperandrogenism include hirsutism, acne, and alopecia. Acne is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit that may have a severe impact on an individual’s life. The objective of this review is to highlight the treatment options for female patients with acne associated with PCOS. The selection of treatment is dependent on multiple fac¬tors including the patient’s age, clinical presenta¬tion medication history, pregnancy, and patient preference

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, formerly called (Stein-Leventhal syndrome) is a heterogeneous and complex disorder that has adverse reproductive and metabolic implications for affected women. This disorder has an unclear etiology1. The most accurate and widely accepted clinical definition of PCOS is the association of hyperandrogenism with chronic anovulation in women without an underlying disease of pituitary or adrenal glands, along with the presence of polycystic ovaries. If two of these three criteria were present then the patient can be diagnosed with PCOS2. PCOS affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age. Hyperandrogenism is characterized clinically by hirsutism, acne, and androgen-dependent alopecia and biochemically by elevated serum concentrations of androgens, particularly testosterone and androstenedione
