PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PCOS, PID, AND SYPHILIS 2

Pathophysiology of PCOS, PID, and Syphilis

Question 1

The pathogenesis of PCOS entails primary defects within the hypothalamic- insulin

action and secretion, pituitary axis, and ovarian function. Although the exact cause of PCOS

remains unclear, PCOS is associated with obesity and ovarian resistance (Ndefo et al., 2013).

This association is not entirely abnormal. Insulin is responsible for regulating ovarian function.

Ovaries usually respond to enhanced insulin secretion by producing androgens that lead to

anovulation.

Question 2

PCOS increases the risk of infertility among women. Although the disease is treatable,

PCOS increases the rate of infertility among women. Women with PCOS suffer hormonal

imbalances that eventually interfere with the production and growth of eggs from the ovaries.

PCOS is responsible for 70-80% of infertility among women (Melo et al., 2015). The American

Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends the evaluation of women who regularly attempt

and fail to get pregnant within six months. The evaluation should focus on the presence of PCOS

or other infertility-related conditions.

Question 3

The pathophysiology of PID involves a growing infection of the cervicovaginal

microorganisms, with the most important pathogen being Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria

gonorrhea (Gul et al., 2018). Women with PID present with abdominal pain and other atypical

symptoms including dyspareunia and metrorrhagia. This disease is inflammatory and infections

affect mainly the upper female genital tract covering the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the female
