Abstract

This article quests to emphasize the importance of an early treatment for PCOS in the different sectors of medicine. Concomitantly, he exposed the clinical of the affected patients, in the psychological, endocrine and dermatological scope. Acne, hirsutism, seborrheic dermatitis, androgenic alopecia, acanthosis nigricans and obesity can all be highlighted as main aesthetic changes, all influenced by genetic and environmental factors. In addition, infertility is also an aggravating consequence for depressive conditions. For these manifestations, respectively, isotretinoin, combined contraceptives, changes in lifestyle and metformin should be used to minimize the effects left by the syndrome, and may, or may not, be used in combination, according to the individual need of each patient. In this bibliographic review, we conclude that a previous and multidisciplinary treatment avoids unnecessary drugs and psychological disorders (stress, anxiety, depression and psychotic conditions), resulting from the sequelae left by this disease, when there isn’t the timely monitoring.
