Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal condition associated with psychological, reproductive, and metabolic features. Low-grade inflammation is a recognised factor causing metabolic and reproductive disorders in PCOS, which is why anti-inflammation approaches in PCOS treatment, especially during the COVID pandemic, are considered. A promising therapeutic option is osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), which activates the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and can inhibit proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF, IL-1β, and TNF-β. In our paper we analysed the influence of OMT in women with PCOS. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventy-three patients, aged 29-46 years, with a history of reproductive failure, who underwent a physiotherapeutic treatment were evaluated. Six months after the end of a physiotherapy session, a follow-up questionnaire was performed. RESULTS: The results show that most women (83.6%) were satisfied with the therapeutic process, and that the sessions met the patient's expectations. Reducing the level of anxiety related to infertility treatment and pregnancy was declared by 60 (82.2%) women, an improvement in well-being was declared by 72 (97.3%) (p = 0.04), and increasing awareness of the body after physiotherapy sessions was declared by 70 (95.9%) women. CONCLUSIONS: The physiotherapeutic sessions improved infertility treatment, enhanced quality of life, and had a positive effect on overall health in PCOS women.
