Fertility Perspectives and Concerns in Adolescents With PCOS Compared to Controls
Our study suggests that irrespective of PCOS status, most adolescents aspire to parenthood. Notably, many with PCOS lack awareness of infertility risks but express heightened concerns. In contrast to adult studies, fertility concerns among adolescents with PCOS were not associated with decreased quality of life, suggesting that earlier fertility counseling may improve outcomes.
