摘要

Purpose of Review

This scoping review investigates the role of diet, exercise, and weight loss in the management of PCOS among women in the United States. We hope to underscore the need for personalized, culturally sensitive, and multidisciplinary approaches supported by structured care plans to enhance overall outcomes.

Recent Findings

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is among the most prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorders in women of reproductive age in the United States. Characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology, PCOS is linked to significant reproductive, metabolic, and psychological comorbidities. Although pharmacological interventions have long been central to therapy, lifestyle modifications represent a cost-effective and underexplored aspect of management.

Summary

Studies have reported that lifestyle interventions such as diet, exercise and weight loss may play a role in treating PCOS. However, several factors were identified that hinder long-term adherence to lifestyle modification. These include motivational, psychological, environmental, and structural challenges, all of which serve as barriers to sustainable lifestyle change. Future research should focus on lifestyle guidelines and longitudinal evaluation of interventions to improve quality of life for women with PCOS.
