Abstract: Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is defined as a chronic metabolic and reproductive disease associated with cardiovascular, gynecological, psychological, and oncological risks. Its prevalence in the population ranges from 8%-21%, making it the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. The aim of the study to evaluate to evaluate the clinical characteristics of PCOS and the incidence of comorbid conditions in young women observed at the Minsk City Clinical Endocrinology Center. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted, including 150 young women diagnosed with PCOS observed at the Minsk City Clinical Endocrinology Center in 2024-2025. The study included women aged 18 to 45 years with PCOS. Clinical, laboratory, and instrumental data were used. Results and Discussion Data from 150 women diagnosed with PCOS were analyzed. The average age of patients was 24.5 (22-29.3) years. Analysis of clinical and laboratory data for assessment of comorbid conditions included glycemia values—4.9 (4.6-5.2) mmol/l; OGTT in 23.16% (22) of patients, which confirmed the presence of IGT in 13.04% (3) of women with PCOS; T2DM—in 5.33% (8), history of GDM—in 1.33% (2). The average level of total cholesterol was 5.21 (4.42-6.03) mmol/l, hypercholesterolemia was detected in 50.6% (42) of patients. The LDL level was 3.1 (2.3-3.76) mmol/l, the indicator was increased in 65.96% (31), HDL—1.77 (1.44-2.01) mmol/l, the indicator was decreased in 8% (4). The triglyceride level was 1.06 (0.78-1.69), elevated in 22.78% (18). When assessing comorbid conditions, gynecological pathology was found in 32.67% (49) of women, and a history of psychological disorders was detected in 10.67% (12). Conclusions The analysis of comorbid conditions in the examined patients revealed overweight in 21.05%, obesity in 15.13%, hypercholesterolemia in more than 50%, prediabetes in 4%, and type 2 diabetes in 5.33%. Combined gynecological pathology was detected in 32.67% of women, and a history of psychological disorders was found in 10.67%. The obtained data confirm the high frequency of comorbid disorders in young patients with PCOS.
