| Resumo: | In 1935, Irving F. Stein and Michael L. Leventhal, medical specialists in gynaecological and obstetrics, published a study about seven cases of women with menstrual disorders, hirsutism, infertility, and with enlarged polycystic ovaries. The syndrome was originally called Stein-Leventhal syndrome and later known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. The aim of this narrative review is to identify the main complications in patients with PCOS during and after reproductive period. According to findings in this review, based on the bibliographic search of articles published in Spanish and English in databases such as PubMed, Google academic and Europe PMC, complications in patients with PCOS can be divided into: short-term complications, such as infertility, miscarriage, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes (GDM), and long-term complications, such as dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cerebral vascular disease (CVD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), psychological disorders like depression and endometrial cancer. This highlights the importance of an early diagnosis and treatment for optimal quality of life of patients with PCOS, and for the prevention of complications. |
