Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine condition affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalances and ovarian dysfunction. In addition to being one of the leading causes of female infertility, PCOS is associated with a number of complications during pregnancy, including gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia and increased risks to the fetus.Objective: Investigate the association between polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and complications during pregnancy
Methodology: The research was conducted through online access to the databases Documentation on Health Sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS), Health Sciences Information Center in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bireme), Scientific Electronic Library Online ( SCIELO) and Virtual Health Library (VHL) during the month of April 2024. Results and Discussion: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with a number of complications during pregnancy, including gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia and increased risks to the fetus. Additionally, women with PCOS have a higher incidence of miscarriage and obstetric complications. Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and obesity, common in PCOS, are risk factors for the development of gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. Metformin treatment has been studied as a possible intervention to reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes in women with PCOS, but more research is needed to determine its effectiveness and safety during pregnancy. Final Considerations: In conclusion, PCOS represents a significant challenge during pregnancy due to its impact on maternal and neonatal complications, including gestational diabetes, hypertension, and miscarriage. Effective management of these complications requires a multidisciplinary approach and preconception strategies to reduce the risks associated with the syndrome. More research is needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and develop appropriate therapeutic interventions to improve maternal-fetal outcomes in women with PCOS.
