THE REDUCTION OF WEIGHT TROUGH RESTRICTIVE DIET AT OVERWEIGHT FEMALE WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME COMPARED TO THE OVERWEIGHT FEMALE WITHOUT POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most frequent endocrinopathy in reproductive-aged women. The classic symptoms include hirsutism, acnea, overweight, oligo or amenorrhea, infertility. We have compared the effect of the restrictive diet in weight at 10 overweight female with PCOS and 10 overweight female without PCOS and without diabetes mellitus. The female without PCOS lost 6.1 kg in average after 3 months, while the patients with PCOS lost only 3.9 kilograms in average. The effect of the caloric restrain as an unique therapeutic measure is more reduced at the patients with PCOS in contrast with the patients without PCOS. This could presume the existence of a kind of resistance upon loosing weight at the patients with PCOS.
