Description

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and analyze the microbiomes component of the vagina in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome PCOS, and compare it with that of healthy females. Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Darbhanga, Bihar, India for 1 year. A case-control study in which the microorganisms settling in the vaginal area was compared for two groups of women, the first group suffering from PCOS and the second group being the control group. The study included 100 females. Results: We compared the sociodemographic data, the mean age of PCOS patient is (27.3±951) while mean age of control group is (29.1±0.786), (4%) were smokers in PCOS group and (2%) in controls, the PCOS patient tends to be obese (mean of BMI is 27.3±4.26) while the mean of BMI for control group is (22.8±2.12). We found that there is significant difference in mean of the frequency of menstrual cycle between both study groups (5.6±1.7) and (11.5±1.6) respectively (p- value < 0.0001, 45 cases of total 50 PCOS cases were have oligomenorrhea while 1 out of 50 control group have oligomenorrhea. All PCOS cases had Ultrasound feature of polycystic ovaries while control group have no case have this feature; for biochemical and clinical feature of hyperandrogenism, p-value was significant between both study groups. Conclusion: There is large diversity in the vaginal microbiota with disruption to normal flora in PCOS affected patients so we need further studies to evaluate the relationship between the microbiota.

We found that there is significant difference in mean of the frequency of menstrual cycle between both study groups (5.6±1.7) and (11.5±1.6) respectively (p- value < 0.0001, 45 cases of total 50 PCOS cases were have oligomenorrhea while 1 out of 50 control group have oligomenorrhea. All PCOS cases had Ultrasound feature of polycystic ovaries while control group have no case have this feature; for biochemical and clinical feature of hyperandrogenism, p-value was significant between both study groups. Conclusion: There is large diversity in the vaginal microbiota with disruption to normal flora in PCOS affected patients so we need further studies to evaluate the relationship between the microbiota.
