Aim.The aim of our research included identifying the medical and social specifics of the contemporary profile of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (POS) in the Republic of Moldova, in order to improve the diagnosis and management in the treatment of this disease.
Materials and methods. 138 patients selected according to the Rotterdam criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome, hospitalized in the Department of Aseptic Gynecology of the Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Chisinau, were analyzed. Results. Certain medical and social determinants had a direct or indirect role in the evolution of polycystic ovary syndrome. In the current study, we established that the main impact was had by BMI, irregular menstrual cycle, family
history, hormonal level, duration of treatment and infertility.
Conclusions.We have compiled a contemporary profile of SOP patients - young women of reproductive age, usually overweight, who have irregular menstrual cycles, a family history of SOP, and infertility for nearly 1 year of regular or regular sexual life.
