Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Scenario:
A 22-year-old patient presents to the clinic with secondary amenorrhea for 4 months. She has reported that she gained about 40 pounds in the past 10 months and her period started to become more and more irregular. Onset of menarche was age 13 and has had menstrual cycle from 30-45 days, but lately she’s been having menses every 35-65 days with the latest being 4 months apart. She is unsure of what’s going on. During your physical exam you noted some facial hair and acne. You suspect the patient might have PCOS.

• Definition of PCOS. What is this condition? Why is this important to address?
• Prevalence and risk factors

• Presentation
• Pathophysiology
• Physical assessment and testing to confirm diagnosis
• Provide at least 1 differential diagnosis and an exam and/or lab test to rule out this diagnosis.
• Treatment or management of PCOS for a patient who is currently not planning a pregnancy
• Treatment or management of PCOS for a patient who is currently planning a pregnancy
Your write-up must include at least 2 scholarly sources that are not from your textbook nor any standard government or medical websites. Scholarly sources must be peer- reviewed articles.
