Abstract

Objectives:To investigate the efficacy of acarbose combined with diet intervention in patients with primary polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) complicated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and its effect on their glycolipid metabolism.Methods:A total of 92 patients with primary PCOS complicated with IGT treated in our hospital from December 2018 to December 2020 were selected, and divided into two groups using a random number table. The control group received routine lifestyle intervention. On this basis, the observation group was treated with acarbose combined with diet intervention. The menstrual recovery rate, ovulation rate and pregnancy rate after treatment, as well as sex hormone levels, glycolipid metabolism and inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment, the menstrual recovery rate and ovulation rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Among the patients with fertility needs in the two groups, the pregnancy rate of the observation group was significantly higher compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, sex hormone levels showed no obvious differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, all indicators of sex hormone were improved in both groups, and the improvement in the observation group was more obvious than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, no obvious difference was found in glycolipid metabolism between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, 2hPG, LDL-C and TG were improved in both groups, and the improvement was more significant in the observation group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, inflammatory factor levels were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, inflammatory factor levels in both groups were improved, which was more obvious in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions:The application of acarbose combined with diet intervention in patients with primary PCOS complicated with IGT can effectively enhance the efficacy, help patients increase ovulation rate and pregnancy rate, and improve sex hormone levels, glycolipid metabolism and inflammatory factor levels.

Summary

Introduction

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a commonly occurring endocrine disorder characterized by hirsutism, anovulation, and polycystic ovaries.[1]. It is clinically attempted to treat patients with additional acarbose, which can reduce insulin resistance (IR), and diet intervention. 92 patients with primary PCOS complicated with IGT treated in our hospital from December 2018 to December 2020 were selected as subjects, to investigate the efficacy of acarbose combined with diet intervention in patients with primary PCOS complicated with IGT and its effect on their glycolipid metabolism.
