Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) ratio increase at age of menarche worldwide.Objective: The objective is to determine the cause of PCOD/PCOS at the age of menarche.Methods: Age at menarche was compared with PCOS/PCOD, The data extracted by Medline, PubMed and Obsgyne online library that were queried for studies published between 1998 to 2021 by using specific MeSH terms. We reviewed 10 cross-sectional style analytical studies for the collection of data in this systematic article.Results: 10 studies conducted between the years 1998 to 2021 included in this systematic review. The age of menarche is between 10-18 years. Menarche is one of the major causes of PCOD/PCOS due to poor diagnosis of normal pubertal ovaries and polycystic ovaries. At the age of menarche the weight ratio is subjectively increased due to poor diet and then BMI increased. So PCOD/PCOS ratio increases day by day at the age of menarche.Conclusions: Age at menarche in women with PCOS is influenced by BMI and genetic Variants and poor diagnosis at ultrasound scan.
