Background and Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Therefore, in this study, the prevalence of hirsutism, overweight and menstrual disorders, which have a high comorbidity with this syndrome, and its relationship with age, marriage, and the use of related medications were investigated among students in the dormitory of Kerman University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among students in the dormitory of Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2019-2020. The prevalence of hirsutism, menstrual disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (based on NIH criteria) and overweight were calculated. The polycystic ovary syndrome screening questionnaire was used for screening and its relationship with age, marriage and the use of related medications was measured.
Findings: 636 students with an average age of 21.99±3.61 participated in this study. 13.9% of students had a menstrual cycle of more than 35 days. 70.6% had a menstrual cycle of 25 to 34 days. In terms of the growth of thick dark hair, 17.1% experienced hair growth in more than two areas of the body, and most reports of hair growth were related to chin, chest, and abdomen with 31.4%, 29.9%, and 23.2%, respectively, and 45.3% of subjects did not report hirsutism. Moreover, 30.8% were overweight and 4.7% had galactorrhea. With a confidence interval of 95%, the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 10.6 (3.2-18.0). Age and the use of medications had a significant relationship with these symptoms.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among students is not higher than the average of the society, and it occurs more in people over 22 years of age and people who take medications.
Keywords: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Hirsutism, Menstrual Disorders, Overweight.
