Background:
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies
among reproductive aged women. It is associated with metabolic problems such as obesity, insulin
resistance and dyslipidemia. Obesity in itself is associated with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.
However, it remains unclear whether lean and obese PCOS women share the same metabolic
profiles.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism
and dyslipidemia across different categories of body mass index among women with PCOS
Methods:
A retrospective cross – sectional study included 160 PCOS patients covering the years
2015 to 2017 was performed. Fisher’s exact test, one-way analysis of variance using Fisher-Hayter
multiple comparisons procedure and independent-test were used to compare the prevalence of
disease among the different categories of body mass index (i.e. non-obese, overweight and obese).
Results:
Among obese patients, the prevalence of pre-diabetes was 39.33% (35/89) and Type II
diabetes mellitus was 8.99% (8/89). Among overweight, pre-diabetes patients were at 16.67% (5/30),
while diabetics were only 6.67% (2). Among the non-obese population, only 17.07% (7/41) were
classified as pre-diabetics while only 2.44% (1/41) were considered diabetic. For the prevalence
of dyslipidemia, overweight and obese patients had the most proportion of affected individuals, at
90% (27/30) and 87.64% (78/89), respectively.
Conclusion
Abnormal glucose metabolism and dyslipidemia are more prevalent among obese
and overweight women compared to non-obese PCOS patients.

3.Chronic pelvic pain secondary to adenomyosis in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome

In Mayer-Rokitansky-K0ster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, the development of the uterus and some parts of the vagina is either completely absent or reduced. It is a rare congenital anomaly, and affects one in 4,000-5,000 female births and commonly presents as primary amenorrhea. Approximately 6% - 10% of these patients with MRKH syndrome report persistent pelvic pain, which may be attributed to the presence of myomas, endometriosis, adenomyosis or hematometra caused by a functioning endometrial tissue in a uterine remnant. This paper presents the case of a 37 year old nulligravid who experienced severe cyclic hypogastric pain, and was subsequently diagnosed with MRKH syndrome with adenomyosis. Clinical evaluation and definitive management of the index case are discussed.
