Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine condition that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by hormonal imbalances, manifested by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and the presence of cysts on the ovaries. Diagnosis is established through clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound criteria. PCOS is associated with insulin resistance and often coexists with obesity. This condition can lead to metabolic complications such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In addition to physical impacts, PCOS can have psychological repercussions, including issues related to self-image and social stigma. The treatment of PCOS encompasses pharmacological approaches, lifestyle modifications, and, in specific cases, surgical procedures. The importance of a multidisciplinary team, involving gynecologists, endocrinologists, nutritionists, and psychologists, stands out in the comprehensive management of the syndrome. Therapeutic strategies aim not only at hormonal regulation and restoration of fertility but also at improving the overall quality of life for the patient.
