ABSTRACT Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome was originally described in 1935 by Stein and Leventhal as a syndrome manifested by amenorrhea, hirsutism and obesity associated with enlarged polycystic ovaries. The predisposing risk factors include genetics, neuroendocrine, lifestyle, environment, obesity that contributes to the development of PCOS. The pathophysiological aspect of PCOS mainly focuses on hormonal dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenism leading to impaired folliculogenesis which arise the risk for associated comorbidities like endometrial cancer, type II diabetes etc. Methods: Quantitative studies published between 2015 and 2025 were undertaken for the systematic review. A comprehensive review of published literature and journal articles from PubMed, Google scholar, and Medline databases was done. Search strategy specific to each database was used. During initial search 1428 titles were retrieved and after screening 12 articles were selected for full text screening. Finally, 12 research articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Results: All 12 articles of research studies supported that lifestyle modification package on polycystic ovarian syndrome effective in enhancing knowledge on PCOS life style habits, BMI, menstrual pattern and quality of life. Conclusion: Lifestyle modification forms the cornerstone of managing polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Through a holistic approach that includes balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, and adequate sleep, women with PCOS can achieve significant improvements in hormonal balance, menstrual regularity, insulin sensitivity, and overall quality of life. Implementing a structured lifestyle modification package empowers individuals to take control of their health, reduce the risk of long-term complications such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and improve reproductive outcomes. Therefore, promoting sustainable lifestyle changes should be prioritized as a first-line intervention in the prevention and management of PCOS.
