Summary:
Polycystic ovary is one of the most common metabolic and endocrine disorders in women of
reproductive age group. The Rotterdam criteria are used internationally for its
diagnosis. It has been reported that 57% of these women have at least one mental
disorder. There is no health without mental health and it is fundamental to the good
health and well-being of an individual. Women with PCOS are at risk of a wide range of
significant psychological difficulties including depression, anxiety, eating disorders,
sexual disorders, low self-esteem, poor body image, and overall low quality of life. In
the healthy population, exercise plays a pivotal role in the optimization of mental
health, but there is little evidence available to demonstrate its effects on women with
PCOS. So, this study has been designed to study the effects of structured aerobics
exercise programs on the mental and physical health of women with PCOS.
Detailed description:
Polycystic ovary syndrome is also referred to as "Hyperandrogenic anovulation or Stein
Levinthal Syndrome". It has affected approximately 10 % of women of childbearing age. The
prevalence of PCOS is higher among Pakistani women i.e. 52% as compared to the UK. The
Rotterdam criteria are internationally used for the diagnosis of PCOS, which requires two
out of the three features: signs of hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and
ultrasound features of PCOS.
Although physical symptoms are increasingly recognized in women with PCOS, little
attention has been paid to the mental health and well-being of these patients. PCOS
creates an important psychological burden throughout the lifetime of these women. 57% of
women with polycystic ovary syndrome have at least one mental disorder. Also, mental
health is an essential part of public health and it is one of the most important
indicators of the quality of health care in society.
Women with PCOS are at risk of a wide range of significant psychological difficulties
including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sexual disorders, low self-esteem, poor
body image, and overall a lowered quality of life. In a healthy population, lifestyle
modifications, particularly physical activity, and exercise play a pivotal role in the
optimization of mental health but there is little evidence available to demonstrate the
effects of exercise on the optimization of psychological well-being and physical health
of women with PCOS. So, this study has been designed to study the effect of a structured
aerobics exercise program on the mental and physical health of women with PCOS.
