Summary

This prospective longitudinal interventional study aims to evaluate the effects of routine metformin therapy on metabolic, iron-related, erythropoietin, lipid, and hematological parameters in adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Participants diagnosed with PCOS according to established diagnostic criteria receive routine metformin therapy for six months as part of standard clinical care. Clinical and laboratory assessments are performed at baseline, three months, and six months to evaluate changes in insulin resistance, fasting blood glucose, fasting serum insulin, serum ferritin, serum iron, erythropoietin (EPO), lipid profile, and hematological indices. The study also examines the relationships between metabolic, iron-related, and hematological biomarkers during metformin treatment.
