Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive and endocrinological disorders with a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations affecting about 5-10% of women of reproductive age group. PCOS is a diagnosis of exclusion and many definitions have evolved over time. Aim and objectives A study was conducted from july 2015 to October 2017 in MGM Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad after obtaining permission of institutional ethical committee. The aims and objectives of this study were to correlate endometrial status and changing patterns of menstrual complaints in PCOS. Material and methods. It was a cross sectional observational study of 100 patients. The endometrial thickness and changing pattern of menstrual irregularities were studied. Results 74% patients were between 21-35 years of age. 97% patients in the study presented with menstrual complaints. 61% patients had oligomenorrhoea with PCO morphology. 15% patients in the study had oligomenorrhoea with menorrhagia out of which 13.33% had endometrial hyperplasia. Conclusion We concluded that the endometrial status is not affected and still the menstrual pattern is altered. Hence menstrual complaints or endometrial thickness can’t be the only parameters used for diagnosis of PCOS as they do not give a complete picture
