Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire

The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) is a 26-item self-report instrument developed to measure quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Created by Cronin and colleagues in 1998, the PCOSQ is disease-specific, assessing five dimensions uniquely relevant to PCOS: emotional effects, body hair, weight, infertility, and menstrual problems. It enables clinicians and researchers to evaluate the multidimensional impact of PCOS and monitor outcomes of lifestyle, hormonal, and reproductive interventions.
