Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) usually arises during puberty and is marked by insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperandrogenism. The principle is that the diagnosis of PCOS must be based on the presence of at least two of the following three criteria: chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism (clinical or biological), and polycystic ovaries. The diagnosis of PCOS in adolescents is particularly difficult due to developmental problems in this group. Many symptoms of PCOS, including acne, menstrual irregularities, and hyperinsulinemia, are common in normal puberty. Adolescents with PCOS are at an increased risk of developing health problems later on in life, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and infertility. One should reckon with the frequent occurrence of the PCOS in type 1 diabetes, when the ovaries and the adrenals are exposed to excessive insulin concentrations. Ovarian hyperandrogenism is common in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes. Methods of treatment for an adolescent with PCOS include diet and exercise. Metformin is commonly used in young girls and adolescents with PCOS as first-line monotherapy or in combination with anti-androgen medications. StreszczenieZespół policystycznych jajników (PCOS) zwykle pojawia się w okresie dojrzewania i charakteryzuje się występowaniem insulinooporności, hiperinsulinemii i hiperandrogenizmu. Przyjęta jest zasada, że diagnoza PCOS musi opierać się na obecności co najmniej dwóch z trzech następujących kryteriów: przewlekłego braku owulacji, hiperandrogenizmu (klinicznego lub biologicznego) i policystycznych jajników. Rozpoznanie PCOS u nastolatek jest szczególnie trudne. Wiele objawów PCOS, w tym trądzik, zaburzenia miesiączkowania i hiperinsulinemia, są częste w okresie dojrzewania. U nastolatek z PCOS istnieje zwiększone ryzyko wystąpienia problemów zdrowotnych w późniejszym życiu, takich jak cukrzyca, choroby sercowo-naczyniowe i niepłodność. Należy liczyć się z częstym występowaniem PCOS w cukrzycy typu 1, gdy jajniki i nadnercza są narażone na nadmierne stężenia insuliny. Hiperandrogenizm pochodzenia jajnikowego występuje często u nastolatek z cukrzycą typu 1. Leczenie młodzieży z PCOS obejmuje dietę i ćwiczenia fizyczne. Metformina jest powszechnie stosowana u młodych dziewcząt z PCOS w monoterapii pierwszego rzutu lub w połączeniu z lekami przeciwandrogenowymi. Słowa kluczowe hiperandrogenizm, zespół policystycznych jajników, insulinooporność, cukrzyca
The basis of treatment in autoimmune diabetes is insulin therapy; however, many clinical cases have proven that this method does not solve all problems. Trials of causal treatment including blocking the autoimmune processes and insulin-producing cells transplants were carried out. Those methods require more research to be concerned as efficient and safe ways of treatment in type 1 diabetes. The use of non-insulin adjunct treatment is a new trend. It has been successfully used in laboratories as well as clinical trials. Metformin is the most widely used drug, together with sodium-glucose co-transporters 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, amylin analogues, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The results of administration of these medicaments give good outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1. Most likely, in the near future, they will progressively be used in both adult and adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes. Further multicenter, randomized studies are required to evaluate the efficacy of treatment and long term safety of these drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
