  • Introduction: Poly-cystic ovary syndrome (P COS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, whose incidence is 12-18% depending on the diagnostic and demographic criteria studied.
  • Methods: This systematic review, to identify studies aimed at nutritional management in women with PCOS, searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases based on the keywords Nutrition and poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, Diet and poly-cystic ovarian. She carried out the syndrome between 2018 and 2023. After checking the title and summary of the articles and removing irrelevant reports, I searched the full text related to the topic included in the study—narrowing the results to English articles on women of reproductive age.
  • Results: According to the studies, most women with PCOS use a balanced and inappropriate diet, which includes a lack of fiber, omega-3, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins (folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and vitamin D). Ali Despite numerous studies, the optimal dietary components for P COS are poorly defined. However, lifestyle management with dietary modification is considered one of the first-line treatments for metabolic syndrome in overweight and obese women with P COS. Should appropriately manage treatment for each patient based on their phenotype, signs, and symptoms.
  • Conclusion: All women with poly-cystic ovary syndrome should know that healthy lifestyle behaviors, healthy nutrition, and regular physical activity can improve health and well-being by optimizing hormonal results. Finally, the dietary management of women with P COS should be under the joint guidance of nutritionists, gynecologists, fertility specialists, and endocrinologists from the time of diagnosis to help patients.
