The Effect of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) On Some Hormonal and Biochemical Variables in The City of Bani Waleed

الملخص

This study investigates the biochemical and hormonal alterations associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among women in Bani Walid. PCOS is a prevalent gynecological condition that can lead to complications such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. The research was conducted in private clinics and laboratories in Bani Walid from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, involving 67 women diagnosed with PCOS, aged between 20 and 50 years. Hormonal concentrations, including prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), were measured. The results indicated a significant elevation in prolactin and TSH levels among affected women compared to healthy controls. Additionally, lipid profiles revealed notable increases in cholesterol and triglyceride levels in women with PCOS. A rise in cumulative blood glucose levels was also observed, particularly in obese women with PCOS, along with evidence of insulin resistance. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive management strategies for women with PCOS to address these metabolic disturbances.
