Abstract

Purpose: One typical sign of hyperandrogenaemia is acne. Among women in their reproductive years, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder. PCOS is the most frequent cause of hyperandrogenemia in females. Purpose of the current study were to determine the relationship between acne and polycystic ovary syndrome and to determine the impact on women's quality of life. Methodology: The current study was searched using a variety of key words such as "Acne" "hyperandrogenaemia", "polycystic ovarian syndrome", "Polycystic ovary", "PCOS", "Ovarian Cyst", "Women health and/or PCOS", "quality of life and/or PCOS" and "quality of life and/or acne". Those articles were derived from the data related to PCOS and reported cases were conducted utilizing seven electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Cochrane) for studies published in various languages from October 2023 to January 2024. Findings: According to the current study's findings, raising public awareness of PCOS can encourage prospective patients to seek care and receive an early diagnosis, which can result in earlier therapies that are more effective in improving patients' quality of life while also being more affordable. This may be accomplished easily by putting in place appropriate community-wide educational PCOS initiatives and programs, along with support organizations, all of which give the populace accurate and trustworthy information. Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: These recommendations may be small but effective ways to lessen the toll PCOS takes on patients and medical services.
