Popis:	Objectives Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) are prevalent gynecological conditions. However, the interrelationship between the two remains elusive. This study aims to elucidate the association between these conditions and determine the potential impact of SCH on the physiological and metabolic characteristics of patients with PCOS.Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 133 patients with PCOS from our Hospital. Participants were categorized into two groups: those with PCOS + SCH (n = 58) and those with PCOS (n = 75). Serum hormonal levels, metabolic markers, ovarian volume, and follicle count were compared between the groups.Results There was a significant difference in BMI between the two groups, with a higher prevalence of obesity in the PCOS + SCH group (p = .014). Compared to the PCOS group, patients with PCOS + SCH had significantly higher levels of TSH (p
