“…Moreover, this study showed significant improvement in TG levels after intervention with exercise, whereas there were no changes in the levels of other metabolic parameters with this intervention. Yoga is an alternative exercise activity that might be effective in improving anxiety and mood of adolescence [47], and ovarian morphology in PCOS adult women [48].…”

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of childbearing age. This study aimed to compare the effects of lifestyle interventions on anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical parameters in adolescent girls with PCOS. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was systematically searched to retrieve studies investigating the effects of lifestyle modifications in adolescent girls with PCOS, which were published up to December 2019. The primary outcome was Body Mass Index (BMI) and secondary outcomes were all manifestations of PCOS, including clinical, metabolic, and hormonal parameters. Random effect meta-analysis was applied for significant results. Publication bias was assessed using the Egger test. Results: This study showed significant improvements in luteinizing hormone (LH) (Pooled SMD = − 0.1.23; 95% CI, − 2.44 to − 0.03), and Free Androgen Index (FAI) levels (Pooled SMD = − 0.78 95% CI, − 0.1.42 to − 0.13) in adolescent girls receiving lifestyle intervention compared to baseline. This study also revealed that diet modifications alone were associated with a significant decrease in Body Mass Index (BMI) (Pooled SMD = − 0.45; 95% CI, − 0.76 to − 0.13), and FG score (Pooled SMD = − 0.81; 95% CI, − 1.33 to − 0.28). Exercise interventions were associated with significant changes in the menstrual cycles (Pooled SMD = 1.16; 95% CI, 0.72 to 1.61), Ferriman-Gallwey (FG) score (Pooled SMD = − 0.57; 95% CI, − 0.99 to − 0.15), LH (Pooled SMD = − 056; 95% CI, − 0.98 to − 0.14), Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) (Pooled SMD = − 0.81; 95% CI, − 0.1.24 to − 0.38), and Triglyceride (TG) levels (Pooled SMD = − 0.32; 95% CI, − 0.62 to − 0.02).

“…Yoga may be a helpful practice to integrate as a regular workout. Studies are done to validate its benefits for androgens and insulin response [ 34 ], which for all intents and purposes is fairly significant. Some lifestyle adjustments are known to help the symptoms and mental well-being of PCOS patients.…”

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the readily recognised endocrine gland illnesses in women, with an incidence range from 2.2% to 26% in India. Patients experiencing PCOS experience issues involving irregular menstrual periods, hirsutism, acne, being overweight, and impotence. Long-term, low-grade inflammation has emerged as a crucial factor leading to PCOS. A rise in glucose levels may stimulate oxidative stress and a troubling reaction from mononuclear cells (MNC) of females with PCOS, which normally do not rely on fat. This is required because MNC-derived macrophages are the major source of cytokine synthesis in big adipose tissue and similarly encourage adipocyte cytokine production. In summary, data reveal the substantial risks of insulin resistance in obese people who are suffering from PCOS. The findings of this specific lesson indicated that individuals with the conventional PCOS phenotype had obesity and higher insulin levels and insulin resistance, neglecting the absence of BMI differences from other phenotypes. These data show that insulin resistance is the most significant pathophysiological trait in people with PCOS.

“…In addition, Ram Nidhi et al found that a 12-week holistic yoga program was significantly better than a physical exercise program in reducing anxiety symptoms for adolescents with PCOS [ 116 ]. Ratnakumari et al also reached a similar conclusion that yoga is efficient in bringing about beneficial changes in polycystic ovarian morphology and speculated that a longer intervention might require to regulate menstruation [ 117 ].…”

As a reproductive endocrine disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has influenced billions of women during childbearing age worldwide. Owing to its complex etiology and ambiguous pathogenesis, there is still not a specific method to cure it. Clinical treatments, such as hormone therapy and surgical treatment, have side effects. Therefore, it is essential and urgent to seek alternative treatment to solve these problems. The satisfactory efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), immunotherapy, medicinal foods, vitamin therapy, diet therapy, psychotherapy, spa, and oxygen therapy, in treating PCOS, has aroused an increasing number of medical workers’ concern and gradually become the mainstream. This paper reviews the application of CAM in the treatment of PCOS, especially from the perspective of TCM. Meanwhile, the limitations of the literature about CAM in the treatment of PCOS are mentioned and analyzed as well.
