integrating spiritual care in polycystic ovary syndrome management: a proposed framework for care and spiritual health

Polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a widespread endocrine disorder with profound implications for both physical and psychological health. women affected by pcos are at an increased risk of diminished quality of life, as well as heightened susceptibility to mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression. the multifactorial etiology of pcos—encompassing genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors—highlights the pivotal role of stress in both its development and progression. although interventions such as dietary modifications, physical activity, and cognitive behavioral therapy have proven effective in enhancing overall well-being, their sustained success necessitates a more integrative and personalized approach.
