The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) among female patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris in Sohag university hospital
A cross-sectional observational study designed to determine the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris attending Sohag University Hospital.

| Patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris |
Sex: Female, ages: 15 Years to 49 Years
Inclusion Criteria:
* Female patients at childbearing age ( 15 - 49 years) (World Health, 2024).
* Patients clinically diagnosed with acne vulgaris.
• Clinical diagnosis of Acne vulgaris:
o Presence of comedones (open/black and closed/white), inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, or nodules), with or without post-acne changes such as hyperpigmentation or scarring (Oge et al., 2019).
* Patients diagnosed with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) according to the 2023 International Evidence-based Guideline for PCOS diagnosis.
* Diagnostic criteria for PMOS diagnosis in adults : (Forslund et al., 2024).
* Diagnosis of PMOS will be based on the presence of at least two of the following three criteria after exclusion of other etiologies:
1\. Ovulatory dysfunction:
* Irregular menstrual cycles or oligo/anovulation. 2. Clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism:
* Clinical signs such as hirsutism and/or acne, or biochemical evidence of elevated androgen levels.
3\. Polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM):
* Polycystic ovaries detected by pelvic ultrasound, or elevated anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level in adults as an alternative to ultrasound.
* Most women with PMOS have a combination of hyperandrogenism and irregular cycles, and in these cases there is no need to assess PCOM. In adolescents, both ovulatory dysfunction and hyperandrogenism are mandatory (Forslund et al., 2024).
* Patients willing to participate and provide informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant women.
* Lactating mothers
* Women diagnosed with other acneiform lesions
* Women on certain drug treatments like oral contraceptive pills, ovarian stimulating drugs and oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin.
* Patients with incomplete clinical data or who refuse to participate in the study.| Facility | City | Country | Status |
