Q

What are the investigations for suspected PCOS?

A

blood work:

  • total testosterone (most sensitive) (elevated)
  • DHEAS (elevated)
  • androstenedione (elevated)
  • SHBG (decreased)
  • LH: FSH > 2:1 ( elevated LH) * NOT part of diagnostic criteria
  • TSH
  • prolactin
  • FBG: insulin < 4.5 = insulin resistance (US units)
  • OGTT/A1C/FPG, lipid

imaging:
- transvaginal u/s

** for accurate testosterone measures, pt must be OFF OCPs for at least 3 months

Q

Management of PCOS

A

Non-pharmacological:

  • smoking cessation
  • maintain healthy BMI (decrease BMI): exercise, healthy diet
  • assess psychological factors: anxiety, body image concerns, eating disorder

Pharmacological management:

Cycle control

  • exercise, decrease BMI (to decrease peripheral estrogen)
  • combined OCPs
  • cyclic Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate)
  • oral hypoglycemic - metformin 250mg-1g BID

Infertility
- medical induction of ovulation:
> > clomiphene (30-50% pregnancy rate after 6 ovulatory cycles), hMG, LHRH, recombinant FSH
- Metformin
- Ovarian drilling
- Bromocriptine (if hyperprolactinemia)

Hirsutism

  • combined OCPs
  • anti-androgenic: Diane 35
  • spironolactone 25mg OD up to 100mg BID
  • Finasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor)
  • Flutamide (androgen reuptake inhibitor)

Acne

  • combined OCPs
  • benzoyl peroxide
  • topical retinoids
  • systemic antibiotics
