Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine characterized by hyperandrogenism, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic disruptions, leading to reproductive complications increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. While lifestyle modifications are the cornerstone PCOS management, pharmacological interventions, including metformin, oral contraceptives, anti-androgens, commonly utilized. Recently, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have shown promising results in management.
