| Abstract: | Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, with a prevalence of 35% in India. PCOS is characterized by symptoms like obesity, hirsutism, acne, and infertility. These symptoms contribute to psychological distress, including stress, anxiety, and depression, among women with PCOS. Methods: Recent studies have shown high rates of anxiety and depression in women with PCOS, with depression prevalence ranging from 23% to 64% globally. Anxiety disorders affect 11.5% to 38.6% of PCOS individuals. PCOS diagnosis is based on hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. However, depression and anxiety often remain undetected, resulting in inadequate treatment. Results: Women with PCOS experience higher rates of depressive episodes, social phobia, eating disorders, and suicide attempts. They also use more antidepressants and anxiolytic drugs. Sexual dysfunction is prevalent in PCOS, attributed to symptoms like obesity and hirsutism. Lower education levels and hirsutism contribute to higher sexual dysfunction rates. Increased BMI is associated with reduced sexual desire and satisfaction. PCOS women report diminished sexual attractiveness and desire. Stress, anxiety, depression negatively affect sexual function. Testosterone levels may not strongly correlate with female sexual function or well-being due to measurement challenges. Conclusion: Comprehensive research is needed to understand the psychological burden and sexual dysfunction in PCOS patients, as well as their correlation with hormone levels. PCOS affects women's mental health, with depression and anxiety often overlooked. Sexual dysfunction, influenced by physiological and psychosocial factors, is also common. Advancing our knowledge in these areas will improve diagnosis and treatment, enhancing the overall quality of life for PCOS patients. Healthcare professionals should address psychological and sexual aspects and raise awareness for effective management. |
