They completed a questionnaire comprising 72 statements addressing potential reasons for hesitancy toward cesarean sections. Their responses were analyzed using factor analysis, and the effects of participants' demographic characteristics on scores for each factor were assessed using ANOVA. A seven-factor structure of motives was found: Fear of Death (endorsed by 92% of the sample); Regaining Autonomy Quickly (87%); Financial Concerns (74%); Fear of Stigmatization (73%); Fear of Unsupportive Reactions from Spouses and Relatives (72%); Prevention Through Spiritual Interventions (70%); and Perceived Health Risks for the Mother and Baby (40%).

It is particularly prevalent among adolescent females who receive an insufficient diagnosis despite having potentially adverse consequences. The use of PCOS screening questionnaires has the potential to aid in the early detection of symptoms. The goal of this study is to observe if a self-administered questionnaire may be useful for a clear cognizance of the associated conditions like mental stress and menstrual characteristics correlated to polycystic ovary syndrome. In this study, we selected women within an age group of 17-40 with and without PCOS based on the modified Rotterdam criteria to fill out a self-administrated questionnaire based on the signs and symptoms of PCOS majorly focusing on mental stress and menstrual characteristics. SPSS software, univariate analyses were employed to elucidate the associations among the components of PCOS, demographic factors, and lifestyle characteristics, hence providing insights into the interrelationships among those variables. 64 women with PCOS and 141 women without PCOS participated in the present study. The present study revealed PCOS is greatly influenced by age at menarche (<i>p</i>-value= .043), typical cycle length (<i>p</i>-value = .000) mental health problems during menstruation (<i>p</i>-value = .032), and body mass index (<i>p</i>-value = .001).

The present study showed that BMI and menstrual cycle length were most closely associated with the incidence of PCOS, which is important in diagnosing and treating the condition. Considering the high incidence of PCOS among women of reproductive age and its potential for significant health implications, it would be prudent to incorporate inquiries regarding mental health concerns and menstrual patterns into routine medical assessments for this demographic analysis.
