Taste Function and Eating Habits in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Overview

This study evaluates taste function and eating habits in patients with PCOS compared to healthy women and before and after oral contraceptive use.

The objective of this study is to investigate the taste function and eating habits in patients with PCOS in comparison with healthy women at baseline and after routine use of an oral contraceptive (2mg ethinylestradiol and 0.03mg dienogest) along with general lifestyle advice for three months. Patients with diagnosis of PCOS (Rotterdam criteria) will be recruited from Hacettepe University outpatient clinics. Along with clinical, hormonal and biochemical evaluation, taste function and eating habit tests will be performed at baseline both in patients and healthy volunteers. These tests will be repeated in women with PCOS after 3 months of oral contraceptive use.
