Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders, which affect about 5%-10% of women worldwide during their reproductive age of 12-45 years. In addition, it can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, fertility, hormones, and aspects of her appearance. Aim: To evaluate the educational program and its effect on knowledge and lifestyles among paramedical students with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Setting: The study conducted at two government colleges in Jordan. Study Design: A Quasi-experimental (pre-test and post-test) design. Sample: A purposive sample. Size: 68 students who confirmed with PCOS. Tools: Identification of students with PCOS tool, Assessment of lifestyle habits tool, POCS structured interviewing questionnaire tool, follow up sheet, and Psychological assessment tool. Results: The present study findings revealed that a highly significant improvement in knowledge and lifestyle among the studied sample pre intervention compared to post and follow-up intervention P < 0.01. Additionally, 91.2% of the study sample feels improving regarding the knowledge which included in the educational program. Conclusion:The present study findings a significant improvement among studied sample' knowledge and lifestyles post intervention. Also, the majority among the studied sample were feeling improve regarding the knowledge which included in the educational program.

“…The genetic predisposition [ 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ] and epigenetic factors, including an increased level of gene methylation, histone modification, and microRNA pattern variation [ 99 , 100 , 101 ], are important for the development of PCOS. Environmental and socioeconomic factors are also of great importance, including ethnic characteristics, nutrition, and adverse environmental factors (toxins, xenobiotics, chemical mutagens, and ionizing radiation) [ 102 , 103 , 104 ]. The development of PCOS in women largely depends on the effects of maternal hormones during the prenatal period, as well as on their metabolic and hormonal status in the early childhood [ 84 , 99 , 105 , 106 , 107 ].…”

Metformin (MF), a first-line drug to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), alone and in combination with other drugs, restores the ovarian function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and improves fetal development, pregnancy outcomes and offspring health in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and T2DM. MF treatment is demonstrated to improve the efficiency of in vitro fertilization and is considered a supplementary drug in assisted reproductive technologies. MF administration shows positive effect on steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis in men with metabolic disorders, thus MF treatment indicates prospective use for improvement of male reproductive functions and fertility. MF lacks teratogenic effects and has positive health effect in newborns. The review is focused on use of MF therapy for restoration of female and male reproductive functions and improvement of pregnancy outcomes in metabolic and endocrine disorders. The mechanisms of MF action are discussed, including normalization of metabolic and hormonal status in PCOS, GDM, T2DM and metabolic syndrome and restoration of functional activity and hormonal regulation of the gonadal axis.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive aged women. As a result of side effect of pharmaceutical medications women are interested in using alternative medicines to treat. To determine the comparative effects of Ferula assa-foetida on androgenic hormone levels and ovarian features in patient with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Methods: In this triple-blinded controlled clinical trial, 34 student participants were randomly divided in two groups. Intervention group received 100 mg of oleo-gum resin of Ferula assa- foetida, control group received oral paraffin (Placebo) twice daily for 3 months. The efficacy of this herbal medicines was measured after the 3-month intervention. Hormonal assay for evaluating Testosterone, DEHAS, Prolactin, TSH, FSH, LH levels and also trans abdominal ultrasound for evaluating ovarian volumes, number of follicles of both ovaries, and endometrial thickness. Were measured before and after the study. Results: In this study, significant changes in DEHAS and TSH level were observed (p value<0.03). The greatest reduction in the number of ovarian follicles was reported in the Ferula group (p value <0.00). Conclusion: Use of Ferula assa-foetida can be effected in decrease of DHEAS, TSH levels, and ovarian follicles number in young girls with PCOS.Trial registration: the Iranian Randomized Clinical Trial (IRCT2016040427207N1).url: https://www.irct.ir/trial/22343
