Abstract	The study aimed to assess the quality of life in females with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS) and identify the domains or health factor which most significantly impacted by this condition. This study involved 40 unmarried females diagnosed with PCOS. After completing demographic formalities, participants filled out the self-administered Polycystic ovarian syndrome quality of life (PCOSQOL) questionnaire, followed by the SF36 generic health quality of life measuring scale. The findings from the PCOSQOL questionnaire revealed that menstrual problems had the lowest mean score, while infertility issues had the highest mean score. Additionally, the SF36 results showed that emotional well-being and energy fatigue had the lowest scores, whereas role limitations in social and physical functioning had the highest scores. In conclusion, this study found that PCOS significantly diminishes the quality of life in affected females, particularly due to menstrual problems and emotional well-being.
