Clinical Trial Summary

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinological disorder in women of reproductive age, and its prevalence is reported to be 6-21% in women aged 15-49 (1). Although its etiopathogenesis is still not clear, it is known that it is due to the disregulation of ovarian steroidogenesis under the influence of some environmental and genetic factors. Diagnosis of ESHRE / ASRM has set Rotterdam criteria in 2003; one of these criteria is the presence of hyperandrogenism (2). Hyperandrogenism leads to an increase in general muscle mass in the body (1, 3, 4). Pelvic floor muscles are associated with urethra in the anterior compartment, rectum and anus in the posterior compartment, and uterine support in the apex; major urinary and fecal continence ensuring its functions in order to stop in the appropriate position of the pelvic organs (5). The well-being of the pelvic floor muscle strength has a protective effect from urinary and fecal incontinence. It has been emphasized that the "anogenital distance" determined by the measurement of the anal region anterior to the clitoris anterior may also be a criteria in the diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (7,8,9). In this study, patients in the reproductive age between 18-40 years, who applied to our gynecology outpatient clinic and were diagnosed as PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria wil be study gorup and the women without PCOS will be control group. We aimed to evaluate the pelvic muscle strength with perineometry, to measure anogenital distance and to determine possible relationships with each other. In addition to demographic information, ICIQ-SF (Urinary incontinence inquiry short form) will also be taken to evaluate pelvic floor function (10).
