Abstract

This bachelor thesis will shed light on the pathophysiological difference in the phenotypes of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is defined as a syndrome with four different phenotypes, where only two diagnostic criteria are required for a diagnosis. This thesis aims to investigate the origin of these phenotypes and if all phenotypes share the same origin. In this way, patients and physicians can adjust the treatment plan to each patient's phenotype. The syndrome itself will be introduced. Then based on the necessary criteria the disorder will be unpacked. With every criterion, the underlying pathophysiology is discussed and accompanied by the necessary figures and tables. At last, a hypothetical scheme is introduced that shapes the origin of the disorder. Yet, this scheme is countered with the last peculiar phenotype. A conclusion is formed on the literature used in this thesis and advice is given to adjust the diagnostic approach toward PCOS.
