Abstract:Objective To investigate the levels of serum Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA), anti- Müllerian hormone (AMH) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their changes after the treatment of ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets (Diane-35) combined with metformin. Methods Fifty two PCOS patients were rolled in the gynecology department of our hospital from December 2018 to October 2019, and selected as the observation group. 55 women of reproductive age with regular menstrual cycle and normal ovarian function were selected as the control group at the same time. The observation group was treated with Diane-35 and metformin for 3 months. The levels of serum DHEA, AMH and SHBG in the control group and in the observation group before and after treatment were detected and compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between serum DHEA, AMH, SHBG and the severity of PCOS. Results The levels of serum DHEA and AMH in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the level of SHBG was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, the levels of serum DHEA and AMH in patients with type 1 were higher than those in patients with type 3 and type 4 (P < 0.05), while SHBG level was lower than that in patients with type 3 and type 4 (P < 0.05). The levels of serum DHEA and AMH in patients with type 2 were higher than that in patients with type 4 (P < 0.05), and SHBG level was lower than that in patients with type 4 (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between serum DHEA (r = 0.827), AMH (r = 0.764) and severity of PCOS (P < 0.05), and a negative correlation between serum SHBG (r = -0.852) and severity of PCOS (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum DHEA and AMH in the observation group were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the level of serum SHBG was higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusions The levels of serum DHEA and AMH increase while the serum SHBG level decrease in PCOS patients. DHEA, AMH and SHBG in PCOS patients can effectively reflect the severity of PCOS. Diane-35 combined with metformin have a good therapeutic effect on PCOS patients, which can effectively ameliorate the levels of serum DHEA, AMH and SHBG.
