ABSTRACT

A frequent hormonal problem among women who are of reproductive age is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Excess amounts of male hormones or irregular or protracted menstrual cycles are common in women with PCOS. Their infertility results from these hormone imbalances, which also cause them to miss menstruation. The goal of the study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of adolescent females on PCOS at Government arts and science College in Gudalur.. The study used a non-experimental descriptive survey design for its research design. One hundred teenage females from Government Arts and Science College in Gudalur participated in the study. The findings indicate that, when it comes to PCOS, 88.33 percent of teenage girls lack adequate knowledge, only 11.70 percent have somewhat acceptable knowledge, and 75 percent of samples have a neutral attitude, 25 percent have a negative attitude, and none have a good attitude. Knowledge and attitude have a somewhat positive link, according to the correlation. The aforementioned research indicates that teenage females have a negative attitude and insufficientinformation about PCOS, which is why it's critical to create a self-instructional PCOS module for educational programmes. Keywords: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Male Hormones, Irregular Or Protracted Menstrual Cycles
