      <abstract>
        <p>Objectives:- 
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of Homoeopathic medicine in the management of PCOS.  
2. To measure changes in quality of life of patient with PCOSQ scale in cases of PCOS.  
Method:-  
We collected 45 cases according to our inclusion criteria from Motiwala (National) Homoeopathic 
Medical College &amp; Hospital &amp; peripheral OPDs. Case taking was done on case recording format and 
was then repertorized using RADAR. Health related quality of life of the patient was assessed using 
PCOSQ scale.  
Results:-  
Our study showed that 40 cases showed improvement whereas 5 cases did not show any improvement. 
In our study the mean PCOSQ score before study was 92.24 and after study increased to 112.6. On 
PCOSQ questionnaire 88.88% of patients showed improvement in health-related quality of life and 
11.11% of patients did not show any improvement in health-related quality of life. Conclusion:- Hence 
we conclude that homoeopathic medicines are effective in management of PCOS and in improving the 
quality of life of PCOS cases.</p>
