Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic process, including the clinical and physiological manifestations in adolescents suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Bibliographic review: SOP is characterized by an endocrinological disorder that affects women of childbearing age. However, divergences in studies on the cause of SOP, which promotes the formation of hypotheses on what would cause the hormonal imbalance, having the genetic origin as a possible explanation. In addition, the difficulty of making the diagnosis early becomes another aggravating factor in the effectiveness of treatment. Thus, the clinical, reproductive and metabolic manifestations interfere in the quality of life in the short term with irregularity of uterine bleeding and recurrent colic, in addition to long-term complications such as endometrial cancer. Final considerations: It is concluded that the diagnosis of the polycystic ovary syndrome is important, since it is a syndrome that is related to several comorbidities and may generate metabolic and reproductive repercussions in these women. Therefore, the treatment must be individualized and of multifactorial character, considering the complaints of the patient, the stage of reproductive life in which she is and evaluating the risk/benefit of certain therapies.
