| Introduction: PCOS is characterized by menstrual disorders due to chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenemia. It is considered as one of the most common endocrine disorders at reproductive ages. Hirsutism, menstrual disorders, hyperandrogenemia, obesity, infertility and spontaneous abortion are common in PCOS. This disease is often diagnosed clinically. According to the pathophysiology of the disease, insulin resistance can play a major role in PCOS etiology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of diabetes, IFG and IGT, and their association with the symptoms of PCOS. Materials and methods: A total of 82 patients with PCOS were selected. FBS and OGTT were performed after prescribing 75 g glucose. The results of the study were evaluated using SPSS 21 software and Chi-square and one-way ANOVA statistical tests. Results: Hirsutism and menstrual disorders are the most common symptoms in PCOS patients. Although the frequency of diabetes, IFG and IGT increases with age and BMI in a PCOS family, but it is seen at any age and BMI. Insulin resistance was more common in patients with PCOS. Conclusion: The frequency of diabetes in our study was 9.7%, which is not significantly different from another study. The rate of IGT and IFG in patients was 14.6% and 9.8%, respectively, which is slightly lower than that of other studies and it is probably due to the low number of participants in the study and due the fact that our patients were new case of PCOS. |
