    PCOS is a chronic disease which mostly kept undiagnosed and characterized by the symptoms like hirsutism, infertility, weight gain and irregular periods. Pakistan rated high prevalence of nearly 52% affecting women (Azhar et al., 2020). Current study aims to explore the relationship between emotional disclosure, family communication, disease related stress and quality of life of women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary syndrome. These is a big research gap in the findings of role of emotional disclosure and family communication on PCOS women. Hence, the study aims to explore the relationship of independent variables on outcome variable i.e., quality of life. The sample consist of 115 PCOS diagnosed women with married women n=40 and unmarried women n=75. Correlational research design is used to identify the relationship among study variables. The result shows that emotional disclosure and family communication have a positive correlation with quality of life but there is a negative correlation between disease related stress and quality of life. Moreover, disease related stress negatively predicts quality of life while emotional disclosure and family communication positively predicts quality of life. The study has concluded that family communication and emotional disclosure play a significant role in predicting health-related quality of life in PCOS women. Furthermore, manifestation of disease related stress negatively influences the quality of life in PCOS women. Awareness regrading reproductive health issues along with its drastic effect on psychological health should be implemented in health and education centers.
