Abstract

To analyze the biochemical, clinical, and hormonal characteristics of patients with four phenotypes of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A total of 225 patients admitted to Medistate Kavacık Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic and Giresun University Faculty of Medicine Gynecology and Obstetrics clinic between January 2019 and January 2020 diagnosed as PCOS and healthy controls were included in the study. The revised Rotterdam criteria were applied to diagnose PCOS. The patients with PCOS were divided into Type I classic, Type II classic, Ovulatory and Normoandrogenic PCOS. Biochemical, clinical, and hormonal values were compared. The mean age of the participants is 28 (±5.7) and the mean body mass index (BMI) is 26.15 (±5.36). The mean Ferriman Gallwey Score (FGS) is 7.4(±5.4), which is normal. There is a statistically significant difference between the four PCOS groups and control group in terms of age (p-value=0.000), BMI (p- value=0.000), Luteinizing hormone / Follicle stimulating hormone (LH/FSH) (p-value=0.000), and fasting blood sugar (p-value=0.01). There is a statistically significant difference among the four phenotypes in terms of BMI (p-value =0.002), LH/FSH (p-value =0.000), LH (p-value =0.000), free T4 (p-value =0.01), fasting insulin (p-value =0.001), total testosterone (p-value =0.000), FGS (p-value =0.000), etc. Age, BMI, LH/FSH, FSH, LH, fasting blood sugar, and hirsutism are good predictors of PCOS.
