“…The frequency of hirsutism was comparable to that noted in Chinese women (35%), while acne was present only in 13% patients, as compared to 45% in the Chinese study group [10]. Apparently, 57% of the married patients were fertile even though only 25% reported worldwide [11]. Yet the overall prevalence of infertility could still be higher because most of the patients in this study were single (54%).…”

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a common gynecological endocrinopathy characterized by chronic an ovulation and hyperandrogenism. The disorder is heterogeneous and is one of the most common treatable causes of infertility.Objectives: To evaluate the clinical, biochemical and hormonal profile of patients with PCOS in Nepalese patients.Methodology: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data and hormonal profile of patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at Kathmandu Diabetes and Thyroid Center Pvt Ltd, Lalitpur, Nepal was undertaken. Results:The mean age of 80 patients in this study group was 24 ± 6 years. Menstrual irregularity was the most common presenting problem occurring in 83% patients, followed by infertility (43%) and hirsutism (33%). Hyperandrogenism was demonstrated in 82%. USG feature of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome was apparent in 60% patients. The mean Body Mass Index was 27.4 ± 5.1 kg/m2. Diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroidism were noted among 2%, 4% and 30% of the patients respectively. Conclusion:Our study concluded that menstrual irregularity was the most common presenting problem of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in our patient population. The condition is treatable and should be considered in patients presenting with infertility.

“…Transvaginal Ultrasonography (TVS) is the gold standard, and the characteristic imaging feature is a string of pearls' appearance, where 10 or more tiny cystic follicles (< 10mm diameter) are arranged in the periphery around a central stroma within a bulky ovary [16]. MRI is seldom used as it doesn't provide additional information.…”

Introduction: Cancer of the ovaries is the 2 nd most common gynaecological malignancy and has the highest mortality rate among all gynaecological malignancies with an overall 5 year survival rate of 46%. A large number of the lesions are incidentally detected, for which imaging plays a vital role in treatment planning by characterizing these masses. Identifying benign lesions accurately may obviate unnecessary surgery, where as indeterminate or malignant lesions will require surgery with or without radio/chemotherapy. Aim:To inform the readers the imaging patterns of common and rarely encountered ovarian neoplasms and to provide an algorithm based approach to these ovarian lesions, which will not only aid in the management of these conditions but also obviate unnecessary investigations and surgeries. Materials and Methods:This was a prospective study conducted over a period of one year from January 2014 to January 2015 at the Department of Radiology, Father Muller Medical College, Mangalore, India. Data were collected from 82 patients who presented with ovarian cystic lesions on ultrasound and were either followed up by USG or underwent further evaluation by CT. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Statistical analysis involved percentage frequency.

“…The present scientific investigation used the criteria for PCOS diagnosis based on a consensus carried out in 2003 12 , which dictates the need for the presence of two of the three following criteria for such diagnosis: oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovarian morphology by ultrasound 3,4,13 . Based on this consensus, several authors have studied ovarian morphology and defined how to evaluate ovaries by ultrasound 4,14 .…”

“…The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinegynecological disorder that affects between 5 and 10% of reproductive-age women [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] , and it is characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and chronic anovulation. Clinical manifestations include hirsutism, acne, alopecia, obesity, menstrual irregularity and infertility, but all of these symptoms do not necessarily occur in aggregation 1,8 .…”
