“…25 Ovarian drilling by laparoscopy, also known as ovarian electro-puncture, which consisted of making multiple perforations on the surface of the ovary, in order to reduce its volume and stimulate the selection of an ovulatory follicle for the release of an egg, was a treatment that can also be considered as a second line treatment, with similar results to those obtained in 3-6 cycles of ovarian induction. 26 Ovarian drilling provided benefits related to a lower risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Some studies suggested that its effect could last over time, allowing to obtain a spontaneous pregnancy for women with PCOS and even to obtain more than one pregnancy.…”

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disease that currently affects many women of reproductive age. In recent years, the incidence of PCOS has increased, affecting 4% of all women worldwide, with a prevalence of 6% in Mexico. PCOS is a condition characterized by different metabolic, reproductive and hormonal disorders such as hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, menorrhagia or infertility. Patients commonly develop clinical alterations such as hirsutism, acne and in some cases, they become overweight or obese. Different medications and therapeutic methods from different literatures were evaluated, both pharmacological such as inositol, metformin, resveratrol, simvastatin, dapagliflozin, which showed great improvement, decreasing the levels of hyperandrogenism in patients, as well as non-pharmacological, of which significant improvements were found with a change in lifestyle, such as exercise, ketogenic diet and herbal medications such as chamomile and cinnamon, which showed a positive change in patients. It is important to make a diffusion and early diagnosis of PCOS, since in this way it will be possible to have a timely treatment, which can be individualized according to the characteristics and needs of each patient.
