ABSTRACT

Background: Polycystic ovary (PCO), a condition with a wide range of symptoms, can present in many different ways. Oligo- or anovulation, clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism, and PCO on ultrasound are the minimum two requirements for polycystic ovarian syndrome. Most information about PCO frequency in Saudi Arabia is unclear. Objective: In order to determine the clinical, etiologic and biochemical aspects of hirsutism in Saudi females, this study looked at the levels of reproductive hormones in PCOS patients, as well as the effects of age and body mass index (BMI) on the hormonal findings. It also examined ultrasonography results. Methodology: Between April 2022 and April 2023, a cross-sectional study was carried out among 213 PCOS patients who had undergone clinical evaluation and hormone testing at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic at the King Saud Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Conclusion: Increased levels of testosterone and luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone (LH/FSH) and lower levels of progesterone, hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and FSH were predictive with PCOS. This is unrelated to either age or BMI. Future studies with a larger sample size and data on insulin levels are required for a better understanding of the PCOS symptoms in the Saudi population.
