Abstract

Context: Onethemostprevalent endocrine disordersamongfemales of the reproductive age is polycystic ovariansyndrome(PCOS). Studies have shown that a number of disorders are associated with PCOS, including depression, anxiety, impaired body image and bodydissatisfaction, eating disorder, sexual dysfunction, andreduced Quality of Life. However, there is still ashadowof doubtregarding the etiology of these disorders in the literature. Based on a review of literature on PCOS symptoms and its disorder, it has been revealed that clinicians generally identify the physical symptoms of PCOS while the psychological aspects of PCOS have remained unexplored. The current study aimed at reviewing the psychosomatic aspects of PCOS. Evidence Acquisition: The current study aimed at reviewing the research regarding PCOS published in various databases, including Google Scholar and more specifically PubMed, ProQuest, Ovid, web of science, Science direct, magiran, scientific information database (SID), and IranMedex. The keywords used for finding relevant research articles were Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Mood Disorders or Psychological Issues, Psychosocial Problems, borderline personality disorder or personality disorder, stress, coping styles, physical symptoms, obesity, sexual dysfunction, and Quality of Life. Research articles published from 1983 to 2016 with relevant topics were selected for this study. Overall, 130 articles were searched. However, after a screening procedure was carried out by the researchers based on the summary of all articles, 53 full articles were considered for this study. Results: Based on researchers’ findings, 2 general categories emerged: (a) Psychosocial concerns related to PCOS (body dissatisfaction, body weight and body-image disturbances, sexual and relational functioning, femininity, fertility and sexuality concerns, health-related Quality of Life, stress, and coping responses); and (b) Psychiatric disorders (Mood Disorders, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder). Conclusions: Given the high prevalence and the serious psychiatric complications associated with PCOS in females, clinicians should pay considerable attention to this condition and ensure that patients receive adequate psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments. Additionally, it is suggested that nurses and health care providers, through providing psychosocial education and support, should improve coping strategies of females with PCOS.
