Abstract:
One hundred and twenty-two infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 112 infertile women without PCOS were interviewed with symptom checklist 90 ( SCL-90) and questionnaire of demographic and clinical characteristics to understand their psychological health status. Results demonstrated that scores of depression, interpersonal sensitivity, obsessive-compulsive and aggressive symptoms in infertile patients with PCOS were significantly higher than those in non-PCOS infertile ones (P < 0. 05 ). Acne had negative effect on their psychological health status (OR =3. 379, 95% CI = 1.096 ±10.419) . Scores of somzatization, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, aggressive and paranoid ideation symptoms were significantly higher in secondary infertile patients with PCOS than those in primary infertile ones (P<0. 05). Patients with PCOS had obviously psychological problems, especially in secondary infertile patients with PCOS ( P < 0. 05 ). Thus, it is suggested that psychological health status be evaluated in clinical diagnosis for infertile women so that they can be predicted and treated to improve its effectiveness.
