Background:

  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age.
  • Adolescent PCOS diagnosis involves assessing symptoms like obesity, insulin resistance, acne, menstrual irregularities, and hirsutism.
  • Effective management strategies for adolescent PCOS are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and investigate management methods for adolescents diagnosed with PCOS.

  • To provide an overview of current treatment options for this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on PCOS management in adolescents.
  • Analysis of lifestyle interventions including diet and exercise.
  • Evaluation of various pharmaceutical agents and their efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Lifestyle modifications, such as low-carbohydrate diets and vigorous exercise, are primary recommendations.
  • Pharmacological options including Metformin, oral contraceptives, GnRH antagonists, finasteride, eflornithine, FGFs, and Vitamin D show promise.
  • These treatments can improve insulin sensitivity, regulate menstrual cycles, and reduce hirsutism.
  • Surgical and epilatory methods are considered last resorts for adult patients.

Conclusions:

  • A personalized approach is essential for managing PCOS in adolescents.
  • Treatment plans should be tailored to individual symptoms and patient needs.
  • Combining lifestyle changes with appropriate pharmacotherapy offers the best outcomes.
