May 2026 in “Advances in Therapy” The document discusses the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescents with obesity, emphasizing the need for a holistic and compassionate approach. Adolescence is a critical period marked by significant physical and psychosocial changes, and the modern obesogenic environment exacerbates weight gain, potentially leading to PCOS in genetically predisposed individuals. Effective management requires addressing mental health issues and promoting sustained weight loss through healthy lifestyle changes. However, challenges such as age restrictions on pharmacotherapies and bariatric surgery, as well as the marginalization of adolescents in healthcare settings, hinder effective treatment. The document calls for prioritizing adolescent healthcare and implementing environmental and cultural reforms.
Genetic factors in PCOS are complex, with potential influences from the MC4R gene.
