Abstract:

One of the most prevalent hormonal problems which affect women is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It consists of several fundamentals, including reproductive, metabolic, and cardiovascular ones, and has effects on the patient's health throughout the duration of their life. Limited data is available on PCOS in developing countries like Pakistan. The aim of our study is to trace out the prevalence of PCOS in developed countries like America and China as well as developing countries like Pakistan. The study was done in the above mention developed and developing countries through the interviews of people by online questionnaire. This survey research was completed in April 2023 to July 2023. 560 responses were collected during the studied duration. We have seen that the females of 24 year age have maximum effects of PCOS. According to this survey 74.4 % unmarried females are affected by PCOS. According to our finding 71.8 % affected females were reported in developing countries and 28.2 % females are reported in developed countries. Our survey also shows that irregular menstrual cycle, hair loss and hair thinning, weight gain or difficulty in weight loss, acne or oily skin, excessive hair growth are the some common symptoms of PCOS. Hormonal birth control, insulin sensitizing medication, Anti-androgen medication, fertility treatment, life style changes like diet, exercise and surgery are the some treatments that were received for PCOS by affected females. We recommended that more awareness is required in both developed and developing countries through TV, Radio, Newspapers and social media plate forms.
