Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder of the female reproductive organs. Providing nutritional therapy to women suffering from PCOS who are undergoing a pregnancy program is important because it really supports the success of the therapy, and not all PCOS sufferers receive the nutritional therapy they need. A 21-year-old woman diagnosed with PCOS, primary infertility for 3.5 years, and obesity was referred by a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology to the clinical nutrition clinic at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang for consultation on treating obesity. The patient has been married for more than three years and has a history of irregular menstruation. Patients are given pharmacotherapy therapy in the form of orlistat and non-pharmacotherapy with reduced calories and physical activity. The results of the study showed a weight loss of 6 kg over three months and a decrease in Body Mass Index. In the Omron Karada Scan HBF 375 Bio Impedance Analyzer (BIA) examination, it was found that there was a decrease in total body fat, a decrease in visceral fat, and an increase in body age (Body Age), and the patient was declared pregnant in the fourth month while undergoing nutritional therapy. Nutritional therapy helps reduce BMI, improve lipid profiles and insulin resistance, and supports the success of therapy in PCOS sufferers who are undergoing a pregnancy program.
