Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial endocrine-metabolic disorder that significantly affects the reproductive, metabolic, and psychological health of women in their reproductive stage. This narrative review studied the effects of the consumption of dietary supplements and the practice of physical exercise in the prevention and/or treatment of PCOS, emphasizing the management of its symptoms. The research encompassed studies from the electronic repositories MEDLINE (PubMed), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Web of Science. 14 studies published from 2014 to 2024 were selected, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, narrative reviews, clinical guidelines, and a clinical trial. The main findings indicate that regular exercise enhances insulin sensitivity and hormonal regulation. Supplements such as inositol, omega-3, vitamin D, and curcumin have shown potential efficacy in alleviating PCOS symptoms and improving the metabolism of these women. To conclude, the evidence suggests that lifestyle modifications including physical exercise and some nutritional supplements can reduce symptoms and improve metabolic and reproductive parameters, particularly in women with excess weight and insulin resistance. However, methodological diversity requires that the findings be interpreted with caution.
