Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a set of endocrine-metabolic disorders that frequently presents alterations in menstrual cycles, hirsutism, and acne and is sometimes accompanied by obesity. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the main causes of amenorrhea; it is generally diagnosed by its classic symptoms. Other diagnostic criteria for PCOS are rosary bead ovarian cysts seen by transvaginal ultrasound, hyperandrogenism, among the most common hirsutism, and irregular menstrual cycles. It has been determined the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in women with type II diabetes treated at the Hospital General del Norte de Guayaquil Los Ceibos 2018 - 2021. A cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, comparative and retrospective study was carried out in 13074 patients treated at Hospital General del Norte de Guayaquil Los Ceibos, in which inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, leaving a sample of 379 patients. It was concluded that 192 patients diagnosed with diabetes presented PCOS. It was demonstrated that the most affected group were the young adults. On the other hand, most of the polycystic ovarian syndrome patients presented low insulin values.
