ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Polycystic ovary syndrome is clinically characterized by menstrual disorders, anovulatory infertility, as well as clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism. It is frequently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and risk of cardiovascular disease.
Objective:
To assess quality of life of women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, from their perspective and using a general questionnaire.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out in the period from September 2019 to March 2020, which included 84 women with a diagnosis of the syndrome for less than three months. The questionnaire to assess quality of life called WHOQOL-BREF, prepared by the World Health Organization, was applied to them.
Results:
Assessment of global quality of life for 20.2% was low, 15.5% refer that it is bad, and 8.3% of the patients expressed that they were very dissatisfied with their health status. The mean score for this item was 2.81. The mean value of global quality of life of the women studied was 85.2. Consistent with the global quality of life categorized as low, medium or high, in the first case there was 14.3%. 72.6% were within the average rating, and only 13.1% presented a high value for quality of life.
Conclusions:
The questionnaire showed a moderate impact on the quality of life in women with the disease, especially in aspects of the physical dimension. Therefore, we consider it important to include the study of aspects related to their quality of life in order to have a more comprehensive care.
