Slide 1-

Different Faces of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) Shahnaz Akbar (MBBS,MSc,FRCOG,MRCPI,PgCert-MedEd) Consultant Obstetrician, Gynaecologist & Reproductive Medicine & Surgery PR-HFEA
Slide 2-

PCOS Aims. Learning outcomes. Contents. Learning activities. Handouts. Evaluation.
Slide 3-

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A condition of our time Common disorder, complicated by chronic anovulatory infertility,hyperandrogenism. Insulin resistance. Obese , IGTT , DM-2 , Sleep Apnoea. Cause remains unknown. Prevalence 4-9%. Genetic factors may affect expression. Environmental factors are important.
Slide 4-

PCOS Not diagnosed & counselled properly. Low self esteem and high scores for depression. RCOG Guidelines / Forums on PCOS. Most countries now have support groups. In Britain,Verity,the PCOS self help group provide useful information and support to these women.

Definition: A consensus definition using precise diagnostic criteria should be used when diagnosing PCOS to facilitate effective patient care and robust clinical research.
Slide 7-

Rotterdam Consensus workshop: (ESHRE &ASRM) No single diagnostic criterion is sufficient. The diagnosis of PCOS can be made on the basis of two out of the three of the following:
Slide 8-

Definition Polycystic ovaries. Oligo or Anovulation. Hyperandrogenism. (Clinical and/or biochemical signs) Other causes of hyperandrogenism should be excluded. A raised LH/FSH ratio is no longer a diagnostic criteria for PCOS owing to its inconsistency.

Presentation: Presents with variable symptoms,with a pathophysiology that appears to be multifactorial and polygenic. They may present to: *Dermatologists. *Gynaecologists. *Fertility Specialist. *Endocrinologists. *Trichologists. *Obesity clinics.
Slide 13-

It is essential for health care professionals to understand how this condition cuts across many medical specialties and therefore requires a holistic approach to management. An assessment made of all of their problems rather than each in isolation. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is frequently diagnosed by the gynaecologists (affects up to 15-20 percent of women).
Slide 14-

. Major health problem affecting women of all ages. The prevalence appears to be rising because of the current epidemic of obesity. Accounts for 90-95% of women who attend infertility clinics with anovulation. Unwanted facial and bodily hair, acne, obesity and infertility have profound effects on the quality of life for these women.
Slide 15-

Diagnosis of PCOS: Diagnosis can only be made when other aetiologies have been excluded : Thyroid dysfunction. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Hyperprolactinaemia. Androgen-secreting tumours. Cushing syndrome.
Slide 16-

PCOS Statistics (RCOG)
Slide 17-

Prevalence of PCO in symptomatic women Condition Proportion with PCO: Oligomenorrhoea 87 %. Amenorrhoea 26 % Hirsutism 92 %.
Slide 18-

Clinical manifestations Most common disorder of the Endocrine system in women, 5-10%. Frequently begins around time of puberty. Strong genetic component, frequently a family history of type -2 Diabetes.
Slide 19-

Hyperandrogenism Acne. Male pattern baldness. Increased muscle mass. Deepened voice. Enlargement of the clitoris. Thick dark terminal hairs: (chest, chin, upper lip, abdomen, thigh)
Slide 20-

Periods often irregular from the start. Periods may be delayed from the start. Fewer than nine menstrual periods in a year. No menstrual periods for three or more consecutive months. Cycles are usually anovulatory, resulting in infertility. Menstrual dysfunction
Slide 21-

Infertility Ovulate less frequently, may take longer to conceive. Possibly increased frequency of miscarriage. Less responsive to therapy to induce ovulation and conception.
Slide 22-

Insulin Resistance Acanthosis Nigricans. Skin Tags. Abdominal Obesity.
Slide 23-

Summary of Insulin Effects on the Ovary Directly stimulates hormone production in the ovary. Acts synergistically with LH and FSH to stimulate hormone production. Upregulate LH receptors. Promotes ovarian growth and cyst formation synergistically with LH.
Slide 24-

PCOS long term consequences Metabolic consequences of PCOS: Type 2 diabetes. Cholesterol abnormalities. Cardiovascular disease. Obstructive sleep apnoea. Increased bone mass.
Slide 25-

PCOS long term consequences Cancer and PCOS: Endometrial hyperplasia /malignancy. No additional risk for ovarian or breast malignancy. Pregnancy and PCOS: Higher risk of Gestational diabetes and other complications of pregnancy.
Slide 26-

Treatment PCOS treatment: What does the patient want? Fertility? Hirsutism? Acne? Obesity? Irregular periods? All off the above!!?
Slide 27-

Treatment Women diagnosed with PCOS should be advised regarding weight loss through diet and exercise. Orlistat. Bariatric surgery.
Slide 28-

Drug therapy Insulin-sensitising agents have not been licensed in the UK for use in women who are not diabetic. Metformin / InoFolic. Currently no evidence of a long-term benefit for the use of insulin-sensitising agents. Use of weight-reduction drugs may be helpful in reducing insulin resistance through weight loss.
Slide 29-

Drug therapy Myo-Inositol Decreases circulating insulin & serum total testosterone. Reduces acne & weight. Reduces hirsutism and hyperandrogenism and ameliorates the abnormal metabolic profile of women with hirsutism.
Slide 30-

Surgery prognosis Ovarian electrocautery should be reserved for selected anovulatory women with a normal BMI.
Slide 31-

Treatment Hirsutism: Licensed treatments: Oral contraceptive,Dianette , Yasmin. Topical facial Eflornithine (Vaniqa). Cosmetic measures- Weight loss. Non-Licensed treatments: Metformin???. Spironolactone and other agents. Long acting GnRH analogues.
Slide 32-

Image-related issues Women should be advised that there is insufficient evidence in favour of either Metformin or the oral contraceptive pill in treating hirsutism or acne.
Slide 33-

Treatment of Menstrual Irregularities Weight Loss. Oral Contraceptives. Progesterones (Provera 5-10mg for ten days every 4-8 weeks ). Mirena IUS.
Slide 34-

Treatment of Infertility Weight loss 5-10% of body weight (>50% return of ovulatory cycles). First line drugs triggers ovulation in 80%.- Clomiphene Citrate / Tamoxifen. Gonadotropin Therapy. Metformin /InoFolic. Ovarian drilling (reserved for selected anovulatory women with a normal BMI.)
Slide 35-

Recent Evidence: Recent large randomised controlled trials have not observed beneficial effects of Metformin either as first-line therapy or combined with Clomifene Citrate for the treatment of the anovulatory woman with PCOS. There are no good data from randomised controlled trials on the use of Metformin in the management of other manifestations of PCOS.
Slide 36-

Metformin & PCOS. Early small studies were promising. BUT Two large trials have failed to show any benefit from Metformin. (Mall et all. BMJ 2006, Legro et all NEJM 2007)
Slide 37-

The ESHRE & ASRM Consensus: * There is no clear role for insulin sensitising drugs in the management of PCOS, and should be restricted to those patients with IGT or DM-2 rather than those with just insulin resistance. * Therefore, on current evidence Metformin is not a first line treatment of choice in the management of PCOS.
