Hyperandrogenism and persistent anovulation are two characteristics of the complex condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS).6% to 20% of women in their reproductive years may be impacted, depending on the diagnostic criteria. Early in the pubertal years is when PCOS symptoms first appear. Period irregularities, anovulation, and acne are features of both PCOS and normal female pubertal development. Because of the intricately entwined pathophysiology, identifying the causative factors is difficult. Most clinical data that are now accessible include findings and results for adult females. Different diagnostic criteria have been established for PCOS in teenage girls, while the Rotterdam criteria are recognized for adult women. Menstrual irregularity ,clinical hyperandrogenism, and/or hyper androgenemia are diagnostic features for teenage girls. It is not necessary to use the results of a pelvic ultrasound to diagnose PCOS in teenage girls. Teenagers exhibiting the clinical indicators of androgen excess and oligomenorrhoea/amenorrhoea-two characteristics of PCOS-can be considered" at risk for PCOS" even in the absence of a formal diagnosis. Education, measures promoting a healthy lifestyle, and therapy aimed at symptom relief are all part of the management of PCOS, for both individuals at risk and those with a diagnosis that has been established. Metformin, combination oral contraceptive pills, spironolactone, and topical therapies for acne and hirsutism are examples of interventions. Management should involve planned transitions to adult care providers and routine follow-up visits in addition to screening for related comorbidities. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of PCOS will allow for the early detection of girls who are highly predisposed to the disease. Appropriate therapy interventions when implemented on time will enhance quality of life, reduce related comorbidities, and improve overall management of PCOS during adolescence.
