Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Diagnosis among Health Care Providers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The study highlighted significant gaps in knowledge, attitude, and practices among healthcare professionals in Ethiopia regarding PCOS diagnosis. Inadequate practices were common, with reliance on ultrasonography and physical symptoms alone. More attention should be given to creating proper diagnosis and referring channels along with teaching and advocacy in academia and the public to promote women's reproductive health.
