The mean height of the sample was 155±4.81 centimeters. The mean weight of sample was 59.35±6.63 kgs and BMI mean was 24.70±3.47. Among 35% the duration of diagnosis was less than one year and for 65% it was more than one year.

“…Jones et al [5] found emotional and social functioning more affected than the areas of physical functioning. In the study by Coffey et al [8], women with PCOS had a lower health-related quality of life than patients suffering from asthma, epilepsy, diabetes or back pain. The prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with PCOS was also higher than in the general population of women [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Introduction: Clinical and hormonal features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which may be present already in adolescence, can significantly influence the psychological development and wellbeing of a young woman. The aim of this pilot study was to determine social competence and gender roles in adolescent girls with PCOS compared to healthy peers, and to evaluate the relationship between psychological profile and clinical and hormonal components of PCOS. Material and methods:In 28 adolescent girls with PCOS, and 12 healthy regularly menstruating girls, clinical evaluation and hormonal profile were assessed and social competence inventory (SCI) and psychological gender inventory (PGI) tests were performed. Results: There were no significant differences in all parts of SCI in absolute numbers or in sten scores between the study and the control group. Also in PGI, in both the feminine and masculine gender schemes, the differences between the groups were statistically insignificant. In the study group, DHEAS concentration correlated positively with self presentation score (r = 0.4, p = 0.03). There was also a significant negative correlation between testosterone level and SCI score (r = -0.5, p = 0.01) as well as assertiveness score (r = -0.5, p = 0.02). No significant correlations between SCI or PGI with BMI z-score or hirsutism score were found.
