Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex, multifaceted, heterogeneous disorder, affecting 4%-18% of reproductive-aged women and it is associated with reproductive, metabolic and psychological dysfunctions. PCOS affects quality of life and can worsen ANXIETY and depression either due to the features of PCOS or due to the diagnosis of a chronic disease.Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 81 patients with PCOS were recruited from Vali-e-Asr Reproductive Health Research Center. A questionnaire with items related to pieces of information about stress was used for data collection. Stress symptoms were assessed using the Understanding Yourself questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Ver.13.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, ILL, USA).The data are presented as mean ± SD or as frequency with percentages. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: The descriptive results showed that 8 (9.9%) participants did not have any signs of stress, 32 (39.5%) had neurotic stress, 29 (35.8%) had high and 12 (14.8%) had extremely high levels of stress. The odds of high levels of ANXIETY in women with hirsutism was 3.1 (95% CI, 1.00-9.59). The odds of high levels of OBSESSION in overweight patients was 3.2 (95% CI, 1.12-9.234). The odds of high levels of WORRIES in patients with touchy personality was 3.4 (95% CI, 1.10-11.19) OBSESSION score.Conclusion: The present study showed that clinical signs of PCOS were most closely associated with psychological distress which has important implications in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders.
