摘　　要：This article explores the geographical factors of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)based on the prevalence of PCOS in selected regions of the world and the associated data and thus proposes a proposal for the establishment of a regionally differentiated PCOS survey and awareness program.As a common infertility problem in women of reproductive age,PCOS shows significant geographical differences around the world,and its prevalence is associated with ethnicity and genetic factors.At the same time,PCOS does not have a fully actual pathogen,a definitive diagnostic name,or associated physiological changes.Its prevalence depends on the epidemiological design and criteria used to study the disease.Thus,a single ESHRE/ASRM diagnosis should be avoided as far as possible in mass prevalence surveys and promotion of PCOS,incorporating local high prevalence signs,reducing the cost of PCOS diagnosis,providing more accurate diagnostic criteria,establishing differential PCOS survey protocols to improve the efficiency of mass self-testing as well as social prevalence,making early diagnosis and treatment,and predicting the direction of local PCOS trends for provide a timely response.It may improve women's health,reduce infertility,and increase local fertility rates.
