| Summary: | Healthy lifestyle intervention has been incorporated as first line of management when treating adolescents with Polycystic Ovary
Syndrome (PCOS) but benefits of structured therapeutic programs with defined dosimetry on psychological parameters is poorly
understood. Here, authors present two adolescent girls (15-year-old and 13-year-old) who presented with irregular menstrual
cycle and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasonography. Both the girls were anxious and concerned about irregular menses.
Both the girls had weight gain, anxiety and mild stress. Oral contraceptives were prescribed to one adolescent girl to regulate
her menses. Supervised exercise program with combination of exercises and dietary counselling proved effective in managing
adolescents with PCOS and improving their physiological and psychological health. Thus, clinicians must consider incorporating
supervised exercise regime in managing adolescents with PCOS. |
