“…This suggested that the research has not been balanced between districts and countries, especially for developing countries and regions. In fact, PCOS is as common in developing countries, causing a series of psychological and social problems for affected patients (43,44). Therefore, we believe that in future there will be more international cooperation, especially multi-center clinical research and epidemiological research involving developing countries.…”

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is common and often causes infertility in women of childbearing age. This study adopted the method of bibliometrics to analyze the current research status of research on PCOS and infertility. Method:We conducted a literature search based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database.All records of search results were exported and the records were cited r in plain text format to generate source files for analysis. CiteSpace software was then used to analyze the source files. The content of the analysis included: annual changes in the number of publications, the distribution of the countries and institutions of the authors of the literature, the distribution of the journals from which the literature was sourced, the distribution of authors, and the use of keywords.Results: There were a total of 2,716 documents retrieved, and the frequency of citations was 86,817.Both the number of documents and the number of citations showed an annually increasing trend. In this field of research, the United States was in a leading position, with many important research institutions and researchers. Emphasis was placed on top-level journals in the field of reproduction and top-level comprehensive journals. The use of keywords changed over time: in recent years, popular keywords included meta-analysis, follicular fluid, oxidative stress, and diagnostic criteria.Conclusions: There are obvious regional differences in PCOS and infertility research. International cooperation, especially cooperation with developing countries, should be strengthened.

“…Однако «тяжесть» этой нагрузки будет зависеть от ряда социально-демографических факторов. Если в традиционной культуре, согласно S. Buddhavarapu [6], такая женщина будет стигматизирована, то в культурах более светских, согласно E. Morotti et al [11], она, наоборот, может и не почувствовать каких-либо нарушений своей самооценки. Значение имеют, очевидно, доступный репертуар ролей: чем он шире, тем больше возможностей для формирования позитивной идентичности есть у женщин.…”

“…Синдром поликистозных яичников (СПКЯ) как одно из полиэндокринных расстройств изучается с различных точек зрения [1,2], в том числе и как фактор, влияющий на различные стороны жизни женщины. Наряду с риском развития депрессивных и тревожных расстройств [3,4], снижения качества жизни [5] женщина с СПКЯ испытывает проблемы с социализацией и зачастую подвергается стигматизации [6], поскольку не каждое общество готово принять её статус. Проблема принятия социальных ролей -как биологических («действительно ли я являюсь женщиной, если у меня гирсутизм»?…”

With a significant prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the question of its impact on the identity of women, the specifics of such identity, as well as its dynamics remain debatable.The aim. To study the features of identity dynamics in women with PCOS and the socio-demographic factors that determine these features.Research methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the SEI-test methods and the Russian language versions of the Life Line, Twenty Statements Test methods on a sample of 110 women of reproductive age (58 women with PCOS, 52 women without PCOS; two surveys during the year).Results. Had been shown that women diagnosed with PCOS show fewer signs of an identity crisis than women without such diagnosis, but their identity is more variable. Such women are less likely to characterize themselves with the help of concepts related to gender and family spheres in favor of personality traits. An analysis of the influence of socio-demographic factors showed that their identity determines a greater number of external factors than in women without PCOS. The ego-identity of such women depends on marital status and place of residence.Conclusion. The identity of women diagnosed with PCOS is more variable, but shows fewer signs of a crisis. It seems necessary to take into account the presence or absence of children when planning further research. The results obtained can be used in the consultation of women with PCOS.

“…In our study, we saw evidence of the intersection between age, gender, and sometimes ethnicity (e.g., Mia) and the impacts it had on the young women. Buddhavarapu (2020), in addition to us, has suggested that PCOS acts as a unique entryway into an analysis of intersectional issues, especially given the very nature of its features and the challenges they pose to gendered medical discourses governing women's lives. An intersectional analysis, set against the backdrop of societally and medically imposed standards for women's bodily appearance and function, is an important line of future inquiry that can capture complexities in lived experience as well as concomitant factors of social inequity which are inherent in understanding health inequities (Hankivsky & Christoffersen, 2008).…”

“I didn’t feel normal”: Young Canadian women’s experiences with polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects 8 to 13% of reproductive-aged women, is a highly gendered disorder whose symptoms disrupt Western conceptions of femininity. This may be especially debilitating for young women, who are targeted by societal discourses governing how they “should” be. We interviewed 10 young Canadian women, aged 18 to 22, about how PCOS has influenced and/or conflated their conceptions of identity and (ab)normality within the current socio-cultural context. Using reflexive thematic analysis through a critical feminist lens, we present three themes: justifying abnormality, pathologizing the abnormal, and fear of failure in pregnancy. Young women described feeling “weird” and “not normal” as a result of their symptoms and expressed worries about their ability to adhere to gendered expectations. We argue that the blanketing of these desirable states as “normal” has pervasive implications for women’s lives and leaves them feeling defective and/or inadequate, which was further reinforced by implicit, gender-based power dynamics in medical institutions when women sought care. We suggest the need for engagement with discomfort and leveraging PCOS as a unique entryway into an analysis of intersectional issues to capture complexities in lived experience.
