1 Across the Lifespan: PCOS and Reproduc<ve Care Heather Huddleston, M.D. Associate Professor Director of UCSF Mul<disciplinary Clinic for Women with PCOS University of California, San Francisco Outline Diagnos(c Criteria and PCOS features Diagnos(c Criteria by age Reproduc(ve Care for the woman with PCOS, a focus on fer(lity and pregnancy. 1

2 PCOS Criteria Phenotypes Hyperandrogenism Oligo or Anovula(on Other Features: Insulin Resistance Obesity Metabolic Syndrome Depression Polycys(c Ovaries Diagnos<c Criteria Across the Lifespan Childhood Adolescence Young Adult Mid- Adult Menopause and Beyond Can t be diagnosed Acne, Irregular cycles common Recommend assessing 2 years post menarche Stable: Criteria are reliable Cycles and Androgens may regularize Fer(le window extended Can t be diagnosed. No cycles, decreased androgens 2

7 Diagnos<c Criteria Across the Lifespan Adolescence Why make a diagnosis in an adolescent? Pro Con Early diagnosis of metabolic disease Early interven<on in lifestyle changes Early treatment of clinical symptoms causing anxiety Diagnos<c criteria problema<c Puberty mimics several signs of PCOS Risk of overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis 7

8 Challenges PCOS diagnosis in adolescents: #1 Ovulatory Dysfunc(on Immature HPO axis leads to ovulatory irregularity for several years following #2 Hyperandrogenism Normative data for adolescents does not exist for androgen assays Many physiologic pubertal changes overlap with PCOS findings. #3 Ultrasound Transvaginal ultrasound undesirable Transabdominal suboptimal Polycystic ovaries may be very common in this age group Natural History of Oligomenorrhea Van Hooff: nested case control of adolescents at 3 years (mean) post menarche and three years later Cycles at 15 Cycles at 18 Regular Cycles Regular 87% Irregular 13% Oligomenorrhea 2% Irregular (24-41 day) Regular 48% Irregular 39% Oligomenorrhea 11% Oligomenorrhea Regular 22 % Irregular 27% Oligomenorrhea 51% Van Hooff et al Human Reprod 2004; 19:

27 Summary and Key Points PCOS diagnos(c criteria all for a high degree of heterogeneity PCOS diagnos(c criteria have limita(ons in adolescent, peri- menopause and menopausal pa(ents. Summary and Key Points Lifestyle interven(ons should be considered first line as high BMI decreases chance of pregnancy, increases rates of miscarriage and pregnancy complica(ons Letrozole first choice in pharmacologic therapy Role of megormin remains unclear, though poten(al uses in leaner women without (me pressure to conceive remains possibility 27
