Role of Plant-Based Phytoestrogens in PCOS Management: Focus on Isoflavones
Vol.2(2); Pages:1-9. Published on October 2025
Abstract
Poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread endocrine disease with particular features of hyperandrogenism, ovulation defect, and polycystic ovarian morphology in girls of reproduction age. The latest potential non-hormonal treatment in the management of PCOS-related symptoms is isoflavones, which are a type of phytoestrogens; soy-based products contain these phytoestrogens. These phytoestrogens have estrogenic properties and affect metabolic and reproduction processes. Recent clinical and preclinical exercise findings which have been portrayed in the literature have indicated that isoflavones have the capacity to improve insulin sensitivity, decrease serum and androgen levels, normalize menstrual periods and also ovulation. Also, they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that can be therapeutically useful. The isoflavone is also in evidence as discussed in this review where there is the prospect of isoflavone in PCOS treatment in both aspects of mechanistic knowledge as well as clinical results and safety. Their efficacy should be proven and clinical guidelines should be established through further well-designed large-scale randomized controlled trials.

Strengthening Applicability in Qualitative Nursing Research Using the Multi-Case Narrative Approach: A Methodological Insight
Vol.2(2); Pages:10-17. Published on October 2025
Abstract
PCOS is a common endocrine disease in the reproductive-aged women, which is usually insulin resistant, hyperandrogenism and metabolic imbalance. SodiumGoeslugar-glucose Cotransporter -2 (SGLT2) inhibitors as a primary agent in management of type 2 diabetes have been considered useful agents in PCOS management including insulin sensitization, weight reduction and cardiometabolic effects. In this systematic review, some clinical and preclinical studies on the applicability and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors to manage PCOS are critically evaluated. The results indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors can enhance insulin sensitivity, decrease androgen level, induce weight loss, and possibly restore ovulatory activity; nevertheless, the literature is lacking and rather heterogenic. Future superior randomization controlled trials should be conducted to demonstrate their role and standardize treatment regimes in management of PCOS.

Assessing How Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics Affect Insulin Sensitivity and Endocrine Disturbances in PCOS-Affected Women
Vol.2(2); Pages:18-27. Published on October 2025
Abstract
The poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly common endocrine-metabolic condition in women of reproductive age, which involves insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, and ovulatory malfunction. According to new evidence, there is an involvement of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of PCOS, and microbiomeoriented therapies are attracting great attention. This systematic review identifies the effectiveness of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics in the management of insulin resistance and hormonal dysregulation in women with PCOS, using the randomized clinical trial (RCTs). A large scale of electronic databases was searched to identify relevant RCTs considering metabolic, endocrine outcomes in the context of the microbiome-modulating intervention. It was shown that the markers that probiotic and synbiotic supplementation substantially increased include fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, total testosterone, LH/FSH ratio, and menstrual regularity. Prebiotics were less well studied and had promise. Some of the suggested mechanisms are regulating gut dysbiosis, supporting short-chain fatty acid production, systemic inflammation, and intestinal barrier performance. Although promising, heterogeneity in the study designs, strains, dosage, and treatment duration does not allow making firm conclusions. Additional good-quality, long-term RCTs are needed to validate treatment worth and come up with standard guidelines. However, the introduction of microbiome-directed interventions can be viewed as a new adjunctive approach to metabolic and reproductive outcomes in PCOS in females.

Neuroendocrine Crosstalk Between PACAP and Kynurenine Pathways in Migraine Risk Among Women With PCOS
Vol.2(2); Pages:28-33. Published on October 2025
Abstract
This narrative review examines the developing associations between polychromositis ovary syndrome (PCOS) and migraine, paying special attention to the value of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and kynurenine pathway dysregulations. It has been indicated that PACAP, a neuropeptide that plays the role of neurovascular-inflammation and hormone regulation, may have a role in increasing the prevalence of migraine among women with PCOS. Simultaneously, the impairments in the tryptophan utilization and especially through the kynurenine pathway have been linked, not only with metabolic deficiency but also with increased neuroinflammatory activity during PCOS, which could even contribute to migraines pathogenesis. Synthesized, existing evidence is used in this review to point out an intricate engagement of hormonal, metabolic, and neurological reasons behind the comorbidity of migraine and PCOS. The learning of these common mechanisms might guide the establishment of specific treatment approaches in this high-risk patient group.

Nanoengineered Drug Carriers as an Emerging Therapeutic Strategy for Effective Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Treatment
Vol.2(2); Pages:34-41. Published on October 2025
Abstract
The endocrine disorder of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common in reproductive-age women and is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility and consequent health and financial cost. At the moment, the drugs administered in PCOS treatment may cause some adverse effects, including fertility decrease and higher chances of developing venous thrombosis. In PCOS, the older and newer approaches of drug delivery systems such as long half-life, highly targeted-delivery, high-bioavailability and low-toxicity, defined, using nanomaterials, are already in use. Such a new method is becoming a popular solution in the enhancement of the therapeutic effect of drugs. Thus, the current paper will address the contributions of nanoparticles, nanocarriers, and targeted ligands in nanomaterial-based drug delivery schemes whatsoever to find out the ideal protocols of PCOS treatment employing nanomaterials. Further, emerging directions of research in orgnanomaterial based delivery systems in PCOS, and the relevance of the current knowledge to development of new treatment for PCOS is also pointed out.
