| Popis: | SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between lower urinary tract symptoms and polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS: A total of 180 women were enrolled in this prospective study. Demographic data, body mass index, waist circumference, modified Ferriman–Gallwey scores, biochemical parameters, ultrasonographic findings, and maximum urinary flow rate (Q max) were analyzed. In addition, the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Scored Form questionnaires were evaluated for each subject. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was calculated as 23.78±3.04 years, which was similar for both groups (p=0.340). Body mass index, waist circumference, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Scored Form, and modified Ferriman–Gallwey scores were significantly higher in group 2 (p<>0.05). CONCLUSION: In our study, a close relationship was observed between polycystic ovary syndrome and lower urinary tract symptoms. In this context, we think that a detailed urinary system evaluation of women with polycystic ovary syndrome is extremely important. |
