Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting up to one in five reproductive-aged women. It is associated with clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, oligomenorrhea, and polycystic appearance of ovaries in ultrasonography. Voice changes have been traditionally recognized as a feature of PCOS for years. However, voice analyses of patients with PCOS are limited. The human larynx is a highly hormone-sensitive target with the presence of hormonal receptors within the vocal folds, and vocal changes occur in relation to the fluctuations in the sex hormones. During the reproductive years and throughout the menstrual cycle, vocal changes have been reported in almost one-third of nonprofessional voice users.The aim of this work is to evaluate the voice characteristics among women with PCOS
