Title : The interdisciplinary care for PCOS patients
Abstract:
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a disease whose progression and consequences are largely modifiable and dependent on the approach of the patients, although there are many genetic determinants. Disorders of various metabolic pathways leading to disturbances in lipid, carbohydrate, and hormonal metabolism in patients require the implementation of a comprehensive dietary strategy and medical care in this group. This patient group is characterized by chronic oxidative stress, inflammation, sleep disorders, and changes in mental health parameters, which consistently lead to the development of serious diseases. The coexistence of diabetes, visceral organ steatosis, infertility, atherosclerosis, and other cardiovascular diseases, including cancer, is often observed. We propose lifestyle modification education, including increased physical activity and appropriate diet selection, as well as the inclusion of natural herbal supplementation and pharmacological treatment.
Audience Take Away:
• A multidisciplinary approach taking into account the phenotypes of women with PCOS will enable targeted assistance.
• It will delay the development of chronic diseases in patients, which poses a significant burden to public health.
• A comprehensive approach to the problem will provide new information helpful in organizing care for PCOS patients.
