research Clinical and Reproductive Profile of Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Attending the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology: A Retrospective Hospital-Based Study
This retrospective study evaluated the clinical and reproductive profiles of 95 women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) at a tertiary care hospital in India. The study found that menstrual irregularities were the most common symptom, affecting 86.3% of participants, with oligomenorrhea present in 48.4% of cases.
