Key Points

  • Low awareness of PCOS at only 35.9% amidst reported symptoms like irregular cycles, dysmenorrhea, and hirsutism.
  • Analysis of data from 92 college girls aged 16–24 years showed a significant knowledge–practice gap regarding PCOS management.
  • Cross-sectional observational study employed a validated questionnaire to assess sociodemographics, menstrual characteristics, and health practices.
  • Urgent need for targeted health education and accessible reproductive services is indicated by significant gaps in knowledge and practices.
