Abstract

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology. Insulin resistance, adipose tissue dysfunction, oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, mitochondrial impairment, and altered insulin-signaling pathways are all part of the multifactorial etiology of PCOS, which leads to hyperandrogenism and metabolic disorders. This review emphasizes how dietary changes, vitamins and minerals, nutraceuticals, antioxidants, herbal extracts, and traditional pharmaceutical treatments might help manage PCOS. Investigation indicates that dietary and lifestyle changes can considerably lower obesity, increase insulin sensitivity, and restore ovulatory function. Nutraceuticals have shown positive impacts on metabolic and reproductive outcomes, making them interesting adjuncts in the management of PCOS. Herbal remedies like curcumin, berberine, and cinnamon have demonstrated promising effect in enhancing metabolic health and hormonal balance. Supplementing with necessary vitamins and minerals may also promote healing and general health. In order to improve health outcomes and the quality of life for women with PCOS, this review highlights the significance of including dietary recommendations and nutraceutical therapies into PCOS therapy.
