Polycystic ovary
syndrome (PCOS) as a
common metabolic and endocrine disorder among reproductive women in China,
significantly affect the patients’ life qualities. Androgen has been known to contribute to the mood
disturbance, little knows about the association between the high androgens
level and the life quality in PCOS patients. Therefore, we wished to evaluate the correlation between the
Chinese quality of life and androgens in PCOS. We recruited 80 PCOS patients and 40 healthy women from the Gynecology and
Physical Examination Center. The quality of
life was assessed by the Chinese quality of life
instrument (ChQOL) questionnaire. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the
Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine. <br><br>

多囊卵巢综合征（Polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS）是中国育龄女性群体中常见的代谢与内分泌紊乱疾病，会显著影响患者的生活质量。目前已知雄激素可引发情绪障碍，但针对多囊卵巢综合征患者体内高雄激素水平与生活质量之间的关联，目前尚缺乏足够研究认知。为此，本研究旨在探讨中国多囊卵巢综合征患者的生活质量与雄激素水平之间的相关性。本研究从妇科及体检中心招募了80名多囊卵巢综合征患者与40名健康女性，采用中国生活质量量表（Chinese quality of life instrument, ChQOL）对受试者的生活质量进行评估。本研究方案已获得黑龙江中医药大学伦理委员会的批准。
