Abstract

An overwhelming majority of scientific literature on the polycystic ovary syndrome has utilized a medical approach to analyse the disorder and only few studies have investigated its predisposing psychological factors. This literature review sheds light on the fact that this gynaecological disorder of endocrine origin, which is becoming more frequent, can be associated with a great number of psychological symptoms (e.g. depression, anxiety, body image dissatisfaction, eating and sexual disorders, and low life satisfaction). Thus, the syndrome is significant from a therapeutic point of view as well. Authors review the psychological correlates of specific symptoms, their relationships with other psychological syndromes and analyse the psychosocial background of the disorder as well as the possibilities of psychotherapy.

Abstract

The polycystic ovary syndrome is a gynaecological disorder of endocrine origin, with an alarmingly growing prevalence among women of reproductive age. Although there is no doubt about the impact of its symptoms on the mental health of involved women, there are only a few studies addressing the psychological or psychiatric aspects of this disorder. Present review of literature discusses psychological and psychosocial effects associated with the symptoms (hair growth, infertility, sexual life, obesity, skin problems), possible comorbid psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, eating disorders), and possibilities of therapeutic interventions (diet, workout, psychotherapy, cosmetic interventions).
