“…[27][28][29] However, few studies in the literature evaluate the effect of physical exercise or interventions for lifestyle changes on the quality of life of women with PCOS. [30,31] Prescribed to optimize the treatment of women with PCOS, physical exercise has been shown to improve a number of factors and outcomes related to the health of this population, increasing values in regard to ovulation rates, menstrual regularity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and reduction of mental disorders, while decreasing waist circumference and body fat. [32] Thus, guidelines of clinical practice suggest that physical exercises are a positive point for the management of non-pharmacological treatment of PCOS.…”

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age. PCOS has a significant negative impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological function of women, of which there are reports of high levels of depression in women with PCOS compared to those without PCOS. However, the evidence surrounding the effects of exercise and/or dietary intervention participation on the HRQoL of women with PCOS is limited. Therefore, our objective is to examine the effects of lifestyle interventions (definition include exercise-only, diet-only, exercise + diet and behavioral or combined) on health-related quality of life or general quality of life in women with PCOS.Methods: We will conduct an update of systematic review and we will follow the recommendations and guidelines of the Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P). We will search the studies in the following databases: MEDLINE. PubMed, PsychINFO, Embase, SportDiscus, Web of Science, Cochrane Database (via Cochrane library), Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), and Google Scholar (advance). Manual search of the reference list of identified works, without language and year restrictions. The process of study selection and data extraction will be performed independently by 2 reviewers, with a third reviewer being responsible for the final decision in case of disagreement between the first two. We will use Egger funnel chart to evaluate possible publication biases, in addition, when possible we will perform a subgroup/meta-regression analysis. The strength of the evidence will be assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).

“…These improvements included a change from nonovulatory to ovulatory cycles, restoration of cycle regularity and improvement in inter-cycle variation [24] indicating that exercise may be more beneficial to reproductive function than caloric restriction alone. Evidence suggests that the pregnancy rate among women with PCOS undertaking an exercise intervention is 35% [31], with pregnancy being a common reason for drop-out amongst participants with PCOS in exercise trials [32]. It has been noted that lifestyle modification for overweight or obese infertile women with PCOS is a cost-effective solution for those women wishing to conceive, either as a primary intervention or in conjunction with fertility treatment [33].…”

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrinopathy, affecting both the metabolism and reproductive system of women of reproductive age. Prevalence ranges from 6.1% to 19.9% depending on the criteria used to give a diagnosis. PCOS accounts for approximately 80% of women with anovulatory infertility. PCOS causes disruption at various stages of the reproductive axis. Evidence suggests lifestyle modification should be the first line of therapy for women with PCOS. Several studies have examined the impact of exercise interventions on reproductive function, with results indicating improvements in menstrual and/or ovulation frequency following exercise. Enhanced insulin sensitivity underpins the mechanisms of how exercise restores reproductive function. Women with PCOS typically have a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that are risk factors for CVD. There is irrefutable evidence that exercise mitigates CVD risk factors in women with PCOS. The mechanism by which exercise improves many CVD risk factors is again associated with improved insulin sensitivity and decreased hyperinsulinemia. In addition to cardiometabolic and reproductive complications, PCOS has been associated with an increased prevalence of mental health disorders.Exercise improves psychological well-being in women with PCOS, dependent on certain physiological factors. An optimal dose-response relationship to exercise in PCOS may not be feasible because of the highly individualised characteristics of the disorder. Guidelines for PCOS suggest at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week. Evidence confirms that this should form the basis of any clinician or healthcare professional prescription.

“…Insulin resistance is a key feature of both obese and lean PCOS. It occurs in 70-95% of people with obese PCOS and 30-75% of people with lean PCOS, high insulin can impair ovulation and cause the ovaries to make excess testosterone (5) . Glucomannan (GLUC), which is a soluble, fermentable, and highly viscous dietary fiber.…”

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is that the commonest reproductive endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, affecting high of population worldwide. It’s the most typical multisystem endocrinopathy having diverse etiopathogenesis in women, causing menstrual irregularities, hirsutism and anovulatory infertility. Objective: To determine the effect of Glucomannan, Amorphophallus konjac supplementation on body weight, body mass index (BMI), Insulin level, insulin resistance indexes, fasting glucose level, luteinizing hormone (LH) level, testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and lipid profile in over weight and obese women patients with PCOS. Methods: Thirty obese and overweight women with PCOS, mean BMI = 32 kg/m2 with mean age = 29 yr were enrolled in the study. They were received Glucomannan in a dose of 2300 mg daily) for three months. The parameters were measured before and after three months of treatment are BMI, fasting plasma glucose, serum insulin levels, Insulin resistance indexes; homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-B), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), lipid profile; serum cholesterol, triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), LH, testosterone and SHBG. Results: Glucomannan shows highly significant decrease in weight, glucose, insulin level, HOMAB, HOMAIR, QUICKI, testosterone, LH, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, VLDL-C and LDL-C and highly significant increase in HDL-C and SHBG concentrations, no effect on BMI. Conclusion: Glucomannan was effective in management of patients with PCOS through their ability to decrease the glucose, insulin levels, insulin resistance indexes, lipid profile, testosterone and LH and increase the HDL-C and SHBG.
