Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder with complex etiology.
  • Understanding PCOS pathogenesis is crucial for effective management and treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current theories on PCOS development.
  • To focus on the physiological processes during puberty and adolescence in relation to PCOS pathogenesis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing theories and research on PCOS.
  • Analysis of physiological changes during pubertal and adolescent periods.
  • Synthesis of information linking these changes to PCOS development.

Main Results:

  • PCOS development is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental influences.
  • Pubertal and adolescent hormonal milieu significantly impacts PCOS onset and progression.
  • Specific physiological alterations during these periods are key to understanding PCOS pathogenesis.

Conclusions:

  • Early life physiological factors, particularly during puberty and adolescence, are critical in PCOS development.
  • Further research into these developmental stages can elucidate PCOS pathogenesis.
  • Targeting pubertal and adolescent physiological processes may offer novel therapeutic avenues for PCOS.
