Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) usually arises during puberty and is marked by hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenism. Adolescents with PCOS are at an increased risk of developing health problems later on in life such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and infertility. Furthermore, the physical signs of PCOS can be detrimental to a teenage girl's self-image. Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS in adolescents are essential in ensuring adulthood health and restoring self-esteem. Treatments for an adolescent with PCOS include diet and exercise, metformin, and oral contraceptive pills. Each of these options has been shown to be effective in improving certain aspects of PCOS, and probably the best treatment plan involves some combination of them.
多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）通常在青春期出现，其特征为高胰岛素血症和高雄激素血症。患有PCOS的青少年在日后生活中患2型糖尿病、心血管疾病和不孕症等健康问题的风险会增加。此外，PCOS的体征可能会损害少女的自我形象。青少年PCOS的早期诊断和治疗对于确保成年期健康和恢复自尊至关重要。青少年PCOS的治疗方法包括饮食和运动、二甲双胍和口服避孕药。这些选择中的每一种都已被证明在改善PCOS的某些方面是有效的，而且最佳治疗方案可能涉及它们的某种组合。
