Polycystic ovarian syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder that affects women. The focus on inflammatory PCOS will be the basis of understanding how hormonal imbalances are due to inflammatory diets, stress, and environmental factors that impact symptom severity. The objective of this paper was to provide a systematic review that would determine if symptom severity was associated with psychological stress on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is important to note that PCOS does not have a cure but symptom severity may only be treated, this is due to the cause being unknown and PCOS being used as an umbrella term for issues related to the ovaries and reproductive cycle. As a result, the most commonly suggested findings were to improve diet, improve exercise habits, and seek psychological help if feeling distressed by the symptoms of PCOS.
