Abstract

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, is a common endocrine illness that affects 3.7% to 22.5% of fertile Indian women. It is characterised by abnormalities related to reproduction, metabolism, and hormones. This six-month prospective cohort study at Chalapathi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences examines the relationship between PCOS, obesity and high blood pressure. With 118 cases of PCOS detected among the 1246 participants who completed the comprehensive questionnaire, the study finds a substantial correlation between PCOS, obesity (p = 0.00061) and hypertension (p = 0.00061). Findings show that PCOS is more common in college students, underscoring the importance of lifestyle choices like nutrition, exercise and stress reduction. Additionally, the study finds that academics are more likely than IT workers or stay-at-home moms to have PCOS, which is associated with greater rates of obesity and hypertension. The results highlight the need for focused interventions, such as lifestyle changes and educational initiatives to reduce PCOS risk factors and enhance health outcomes. This study expands our understanding of PCOS and highlights the value of early detection and individualised treatment plans.
