Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a multisystem disease, is a major reason for female infertility around the world. It is no longer considered simply as a disease of ovary. Now researchers growing awareness of the multisystem features of this disease. PCOS has a higher relationship with metabolic disturbance and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPOA) function disorders. This syndrome results in hyperandrogenemia (HA), hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance (IR), increased estrone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio imbalance, infertility, cardiovascular diseases, endometrial dysfunction, obesity, and including a litany of other health issues. Furthermore, PCOS has been garnered in recent times. Interventions like metformin, orlistat, hormonal contraceptives, GLP1 agonists, and VitD have been applied to ameliorate or reverse the pathological characterization of PCOS. Moreover, drug-combined therapy of PCOS is superior to single drug administration. This review will focus on the recent progress in pathogenesis and therapy of PCOS.
多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是一种多系统疾病,是全球女性不孕的主要原因。它不再被简单地视为一种卵巢疾病。现在,研究人员越来越意识到这种疾病的多系统特征。PCOS 与代谢紊乱和下丘脑-垂体-卵巢轴(HPOA)功能障碍的关系更高。这种综合征导致高雄激素血症(HA)、高胰岛素血症/胰岛素抵抗(IR)、雌酮、黄体生成素(LH)和卵泡刺激素(FSH)比值失衡、不孕、心血管疾病、子宫内膜功能障碍、肥胖症以及一系列其他健康问题。此外,近年来人们对 PCOS 进行了研究。二甲双胍、奥利司他、激素避孕药、GLP1 激动剂和 VitD 等干预措施已被应用于改善或逆转 PCOS 的病理特征。此外,PCOS 的药物联合治疗优于单一药物治疗。本综述将重点介绍 PCOS 的发病机制和治疗的最新进展。
