    Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common chronic endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age. It has become a heterogeneous syndrome due to its presentation, evolution over time and short and long term consequences. Objective: To carry out a systematic review on the effect of diet and exercise on PCOS, in women of reproductive age, by searching transcendental literature for its correct non-pharmacological management. Methods: the article is a systematic review, describing results published in health journals and databases. For its development, more than 20 articles were selected, including systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, review articles, clinical practice guidelines and original works. Results: PCOS is a common disorder that affects 5 out of 10 women of reproductive age. The causes are not well identified; some studies suggest identifying alterations in the genetic component, while others relate it to intra- or extrauterine environmental factors. Apparently, the most effective treatment for PCOS “according to data obtained from systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials” remains a change in lifestyle, with the implementation of a low-carbohydrate diet and the development of regular physical exercise. Conclusions: Women require a series of drugs to control hirsutism, anovulation and menstrual irregularities with the possibility of triggering adverse reactions; However, as a first-line treatment, women with PCOS should be encouraged to practice exercise regularly as it reduces insulin resistance, body weight, blood lipids, glucose and improves self-esteem

    Introduction: Testicular cancer is a common neoplasm in young men aged between 15 and 40 years. It significantly affects a man's quality of life and reproductive function; however, it has a 90% cure rate and a 95% survival rate in those who are diagnosed early. Nevertheless, the clinical presentation is not specific and may only appear as painless unilateral swelling. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the risk factors for testicular cancer, which can range from age, syndromes, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Objective: Integrate updated knowledge on risk factors for testicular cancer. Methodology: A review of updated scientific literature was carried out between the period of 2019-2023. The search was performed using the terms: “risk factors for testicular cancer” “Testicular cancer” “Epidemiology of Testicular Cancer” “Etiology of Testicular Cancer”, in databases: Medscape, Clinical Practice Guidelines, PubMed, Cochrane. Results: Through the theoretical search it was possible to obtain updated information on the definition, etiology, epidemiology, the main risk factors, the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention measures in relation to testicular cancer. Conclusions: Testicular cancer, although rare, has a good prognosis with early diagnosis and treatment. Detection through self-examination and regular tests is crucial.
