Unmet clinical needs in women with polycystic ovary syndrome regarding chronic non-communicable diseases: A cross‑sectional study
Women with PCOS remain at high risk for NCDs (CVD, diabetes, endometrial cancer, OSA), yet experience substantial gaps in risk awareness, monitoring, and counseling. Addressing these deficiencies through improved clinical practice, education and adopting holistic PCOS management that balances NCD prevention with infertility concerns, is essential for safeguarding long-term health.
