Brief summary
It is well-established that PCOS women suffer from anxiety, depression, and markedly reduced QoL ,but There has not yet been a nationally representative study to evaluate the PCOS health related Qol and factors affecting it among women in Egypt. So here we try to cover this gap in this study that will be designed to record the QOL of women with PCOS and factors affecting it. This study aims to assess the health related quality of life of polycystic ovary syndrome and determine factors affecting the HRQOL
