Abstract

Background: The genetic endocrine disorder known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) promotes ovarian dysfunction, there are several different morphological manifestations of this condition. Females' awareness of health issues is seen to be a key component in encouraging their attitude to seek medical help. The main objective of this study is to determine (PCOS) among Saudi females in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: In our study, the knowledge was assessed using 18 questions, where 8 were for symptoms, 5 for complications, and 5 for risk factors. A score of one for each correct answer, while a score of zero for wrong or uncertain responses. The total knowledge scores for each answered question range from 1 to 18, where a score ≥ 9 is excellent and below 9 is poor. Prior to logistic regression analysis, "sufficient knowledge" was described for scores ≥ 9, whereas scores < 9 are categorized as "insufficient knowledge". Results: This paper included 418 contributors, 53.6 percent of them were 20-30 years old. 31.8 percent of study participants were previously diagnosed with PCOV. Only 2.9% had a good awareness score, 60% had moderate awareness and 37.1% had poor awareness. Awareness of PCOS was significantly associated with age, educational level and previous diagnosis of polycystic ovary (P< 0.05). Conclusion: In summary, (PCOS) the prevalence of polycystic-ovary syndrome was relatively high among study participants compared to worldwide figures. However, participants have poor awareness of PCOS. By putting programs in place to educate women in Madinah about the importance of early detection and intervention.
