Pathophysiology and management issues of PCOS are still far from clear.
PCOS has many clinical phenotypes and associated with several meta-
bolic perturbations. There are controversies about the prevalence of insulin
resistance and metabolic derangements among PCOS phenotypes. We have
observed wide variation of these issues among the common phenotypic vari-
ants of PCOS. Menstrual irregularity and metabolic profile as well as insulin
resistance may also be related in PCOS. Hyperandrogenemia including total
testosterone, free androgen index, testostosterone to dihydrotestosterone
ratio may be altered as to be useful for the prediction of metabolic abnormal-
ities in PCOS. We have studied the glycemic status and metabolic disorders
in women with PCOS. Women with PCOS have statistically significant higher
level of fasting insulin, fasting glucose/fasting insulin ratio, HOMA-IR, total
cholesterol and triglyceride. Frequency of prediabetes, insulin resistance and
metabolic syndrome are also significantly higher in women with PCOS. There-
fore, evaluation of metabolic status is necessary for all women with PCOS.
Hurjahan Banu is working in the PCOS study group, hold-
ing a FCPS degree in Endocrinology is currently working
as post graduate fellow and permanent Staff Research-
er in the Department of Endocrinology, Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Ban-
gladesh. Her research interests are in PCOS and infertil-
ity, obesity, diabetes and thyroid disorders. She has pub-
lished few articles in national and international journals.
