Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a systemic neuro-endocrine-metabolic-reproductive disorder, common in women of reproductive age, affecting 21.27% of women worldwide and the rate of PCOS has been increasing over the past decade.

Women with PCOS have many health problems, including insulin resistance, hyperandrogenemia, and ovulation disorders. Moreover, PCOS is also associated with significant consequences such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus (both type 2 and gestational), increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer and mental health disorders.

A meta-analysis of 57 studies has been reported that women with PCOS are more likely to have an increased risk of diagnosis of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

These psychological disorders may be related to biometric and biochemical characteristics in women with PCOS, such as body image, hirsutism or acne. Furthermore, researches showed that waist-to-hip ratio and plasmatic levels of testosterone is inversely related to anxiety, psychoticism, hostility and to the indexes of psychological distress. Psychological consequences may also be related to other factors, including stigmatization and isolation, the lack of empathy from family and friends, the feeling of guilt and the diminished sense of self-worth, the costs of treatment and treatment outcomes.

However, there has been no data on the psychological disorders in infertile women with PCOS. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety disorders, depression in infertile women with PCOS and associated factors.
