Abstract EN
Introduction.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disease and many symptoms are seen with varying degrees.
The aim of the present study was to determine which symptoms increased such problems as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and social worry by classifying PCOS according to symptoms.
Methods.
The study was carried out with two groups.
The first group consisted of 86 patients who were diagnosed with PCOS and the second group consisted of 47 healthy volunteers.
Liebowitz’ Social Anxiety Scale, Rosenberg’ Self-Esteem Scale, Short-Form 36, Quality of Life Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory were administered to each volunteer.
Results.
Depression scores of infertile group were higher while anxiety scores of the obese group were bigger than other groups.
It was the obesity group that received the smallest score in self-esteem and trust in people and the highest score in sensitiveness to criticism.
The most affected group was oligomenorrhea-hirsutism group in terms of physical functioning, physical role function, pain, social functioning, emotional role function, and emotional well-being.
Conclusion.
We suggest that not only gynecologist but also a multidisciplinary team may examine these patients.
