Summary: Abstract: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy associated with women of reproductive age. These set of symptoms are variable in terms of reproductive and metabolic disorders that include hyperandtogenism, menstrual dysfunction, infertility, pregnancy complications, and obesity. Females that have PCOS have a greater risk of developing other conditions, such as type II diabetes melitus, hypertension, sleep apnea, cardiovascular complications, and most importantly infertility. The exact cause of PCOS is unknown although genetic and lifestyle factors play an important role in development of PCOS. The aim of this study is to determine the current lifestyle of Medical Students diagnosed with PCOS and was done by identifying several lifestyle factors that were associated with PCOS. A sample size of 167 female medical student participants from the ages of 18 to 35 years old, that have been diagnosed with PCOS from the Far Eastern University - Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation, Quezon City, were assessed. A structured questionnaire that included an Informed Consent Forn was given to the participants and was accomplished by them. A total of 171 participants were recorded and who were diagnosed with PCOS from 400 respondents compromising of female medical students from 1st year to 4th year level, both regular and irregular students, a majority of which came from the 2nd year students. Main findings of the present study were; medical students with PCOS are found to be moderately stressed and factors directly contributing to it were identified, determination of stress alleviation or ways of relaxation, current perceived nutritional status, and frequency of physical activity. At present, there are no studies which directly correlate lifestyle factors to medical students diagnosed with PCOS. A qualitative study may present new information that could be of interest to other researchers, which would broaden the knowledge in female reproductive health care.
