 Body image, personality profiles and alexithymia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS).
Scaruffi E, et al. J psychoses obstetric gynaecology. 2018
 AIM: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic disorder. It affects
women's physical well-being and leads to great psychological distress. Indeed, women with PCOS
show a compromised quality of life as well as impaired emotional well-being. The aim of this study is
to assess personality characteristics, body image and alexithymia in women with PCOS.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 59 women with PCOS and 38 healthy controls were
administered the Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS), the body uneasiness test (BUT) and the Minnesota
multiphasic personality inventory-2 (MMPI-2).
 RESULTS: The PCOS group showed higher values of alexithymia and a higher body uneasiness.
They also showed higher values on many clinical, content and supplementary scales of the MMPI-2.
 DISCUSSION: It seems that physical appearance and bodily function have a central place in the
minds of women with PCOS, as well as in their relationships. However, it is a body they find it hard
to feel and with which they mostly feel uncomfortable. Their approach to the outside world seems to
be characterized by a certain degree of immaturity, anger, hostility and distrust. Low self-esteem also
seems to be connected to a certain tendency toward introversion and withdrawal. This leads to
problems in social, professional and intimate relationships.
