Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders in women of reproductive age, with a global prevalence ranging from 10% to 25%, depending on diagnostic criteria. The syndrome is characterized by oligo- or anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology. In recent years, new insights into its pathogenesis have emphasized the importance of insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, and neuroendocrine dysregulation. PCOS not only affects reproductive health but also increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and psychological disorders. This paper highlights modern diagnostic strategies and therapeutic approaches to PCOS in light of the latest international guidelines and research published between 2023 and 2025.References
