Is the Risk of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome among Working Women Higher and Vice Versa?


 
 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine glands disorder, caused by hormonal imbalance, is featured by diverse potential effects for women; while individuals perpend to those that are affecting appearance and menstruation disorder. Our aim was to assess PCOS risk factors in working women.
 
 
 
 The study was carried out as a literature review work through searching databases including Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect for papers published before December 2019. The databases were searched for the terms such as PCO, job stress, and risk factors of PCO. Risk factors for polycystic ovarian syndrome and occupational risk factors for working women were investigated.
 
 
 
 There are several reasons known for PCOS like obesity and insulin resistance along with the stressors that increase its risk. Working women tend to be exposed to several stressors and being in charge of home affairs creates a higher workload and intensified stresses. The risk of PCOS is higher in women with higher stressors at work.
 
 
 
 Working women experience many stressors and taking into account that stress is a precursor or intensifier of PCOS risk factors, working women are at a higher risk of PCOS compared with housewives.
