Diagnosis of PCOS based on the Rotterdam ESHRE criteria. Studied women underwent complete physical examination with calculation of body mass index (BMI) and assessment of hirsutism by modified Ferriman Gallway score. Clotted blood sample taken from studied women for measurement of serum total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) to detect the prevalence of ovarian and/or adrenal hyperandrogenism in PCOS women.
Results
66% of studied PCOS women presented with hirsutism, 22% of studied PCOS women presented with menstrual irregularities (hypomenorrhea, oligomenorrhea) and dysmenorrhea was the presenting symptom in 12%. Free testosterone was elevated in 50 cases of studied women; DHEAS was elevated in 30 cases of studied women while the remaining 20 cases had elevated both free testosterone and DHEAS. Mean free testosterone was 2.6±1.8 pg/ml and mean DHEAS was 5.5±3.8 mg/l.
