Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ) is the most important cause of an anovulation, hirsutism and infertility in women. It is a heterogeneous syndro- me the etiology of which is not known clearly yet. This multifactorial syndrome starts at puberty and its cardiovascular and metabolic sequelas are observed during menopause. Adolescent patients pose particular diagnostic problems as characteristics of normal puberty often overlap with signs and symptoms of PCOS. However, identification of PCOS during adolescent period is important in order to prevent long term sequelas. It is beneficial to set a behavior pattern in this age group with regard to appropriate diet and exercise. On the other hand, whether to treat PCOS in adolescents in order to prevent long term sequelas is still controversial.

Özet

Polikistik over sendromu (PKOS), kadınlarda anovülasyon, hirsutizm ve infertilitenin en önemli nedeni olup, etiyolojisi bilinmeyen heterojen bir sendromdur. Bu multifaktöriyel sendrom puberte ile başlayıp, menopoz süresince de kardiyovasküler ve metabolik sekelleri izlenir. Adolesanlarda PKOS’ un bulgu ve semptomları ile normal pubertal özelliklerin üst üste gelmesi nedeniyle, özellikle tanısal problemler olabilir. Adolesanda PKOS tanısının konulması uzun dönem sekellerin engellenmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Bu yaş grubunda uygun diyet ve egzersiz alışkanlıklarının oluşturulması faydalı olacaktır. Uzun dönem sekellerini engellemek açısından PKOS’ un bu kadar erken yaşta tedavi edilip edilmemesi konusu ise hala tartışmalıdır.
