These studies suggest dietary recommendations for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) include weight loss through reduced caloric intake, low glycemic index diets, and specific dietary patterns like Mediterranean, ketogenic, and DASH diets, which can improve metabolic, reproductive, and clinical outcomes.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. It is often associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation, which can exacerbate its symptoms. Dietary interventions are considered a primary treatment strategy to manage PCOS symptoms and improve overall health outcomes.

Dietary management is a cornerstone in the treatment of PCOS. Key strategies include adopting a low-glycemic index diet, focusing on weight loss through caloric restriction, and incorporating omega-3 fatty acids and specific dietary patterns like the Mediterranean and ketogenic diets. Nutrient supplementation can also play a supportive role. These approaches collectively help improve insulin resistance, hormonal balance, and overall metabolic and reproductive health in women with PCOS.
