Polycystic Ovary Syndrom (PCOS) has been proved could affect the health of reproductive-aged patients from the physically and emotionally, becoming a major concern of international public health. Meanwhile, PCOS is considered as associated with various severe symptoms, among which infertility is the most of those. The literature argues combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are the first-line treatment modality for PCOS. However, the link between COCs and the symptoms management of PCOS should be bridged. Purpose: This study aims to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the impact of intaking COCs on the management of all relevant symptoms. Method: This review will adhere to the JBI SUMARI guidelines for systematic reviews, and the search method is built to give access to both published and unpublished research. For searching recently released publications, databases like CINAHL plus (EBSCOhost), PubMed, Ovid Emcare, Ovid MEDLINE, and Scopus (Elsevier) are available. Quantitative studies published in English within the last 10 years are intended to be included in the system review. Outcomes: The outcome will present a clear proof between COCs treatment and PCOS symptoms management, including hirsutism, acne, menstrual irregularity and infertility. It could be as the evidence for surgical nurse provide further interventions, which are more tailored and effective, for specific PCOS patients.
