Abstract: Objective To evaluate the changes of androgen level in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after comprehensive intervention. Methods A total of 88 women (PCOS group) who were willing to receive comprehensive intervention were selected as the study group from the patients with PCOS in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, from March 2019 to February 2020. Totally 44 healthy women were included as the control group in the same period according to the proportion of 2:1. The observation indexes were compared with each other before and after treatment in PCOS group and between PCOS group and control group after treatment. Observation indexes include:body mass index (BMI),aist circumference、follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),LH/FSH,total testosterone(TT),free testosterone(FT),sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG),anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH). Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in age and height between the two groups (P>0.05). The weight, BMI, waist circumference, AMH, LH, LH/FSH, and TT were significantly higher whereas FSH and SHBG were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). In PCOS group, before and after comprehensive intervention treatment, weight, BMI, waist circumference, AMH, TT, FT, LH, and LH/FSH decreased significantly (P<0.05), whereas SHBG increased significantly (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in AMH, LH/FSH, and TT between PCOS and control groups after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion After 3 months of comprehensive intervention, the androgen level of PCOS patients was significantly decreased, especially the total testosterone level reached the level of healthy women.
