This study assessed the occurrence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among adolescent and young reproductive-age women in Tiruchirappalli District by comparing biochemical and hormonal profiles of healthy patients with those of PCOS patients. Significant variations were observed in levels of blood sugar, FSH, LH, prolactin, TSH, testosterone, SHBG, insulin, fasting blood sugar, DHEA-S, creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL in women with PCOS, attributed to altered metabolism influenced by hypothalamic hormones. The study found that women aged 21-26 years showed a significantly higher incidence of PCOS compared to other age groups, highlighting the importance of understanding PCOS across different life stages.
