The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of yoga on PCOS specific quality of life in adolescent girls with PCOS. Ninety adolescent (15-18years) girls from a residential college in Andhra Pradesh, who satisfied the Rotterdam criteria, were randomized into two groups. The yoga group (n = 37) practiced a holistic yoga module while the control group (n = 35) practiced a matching set of physical exercises (1h/day, for 12weeks). PCOS specific quality of life was measured at inclusion and after 12weeks. Mann-Whitney on difference score showed that the changes in all domains were significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05) except for infertility (p = 0.675). Wilcoxn signed ranks test showed yoga group observed greater improvement in emotional disturbances (effect size; Y:1.52, E: 0.72), body hair (effect size; Y: 1.02, E: 0.32), weight (effect size; Y: 0.96, E: 0.33) and menstrual problem (effect size; Y: 1.24, E: 0.64) domain as compared to the exercise group. Yoga program for 12weeks is significantly better than physical exercise in improving PCOS quality of life in adolescent girls with PCOS.
