Polycystic ovary syndrome

Frontiers of Medicine in China, 2010
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecologic endocrinopathy. The pathogenesis of PCOS is associated with both heredity and environment. PCOS has adverse impacts on female endocrine, reproduction, and metabolism. PCOS can impact women's reproductive health, leading to anovulatory infertility and higher rate of early pregnancy loss.

The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2022
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-18% of women, and is a reproductive, metabolic, and psychological condition with impacts across the lifespan. The cause is complex, and includes genetic and epigenetic susceptibility, hypothalamic and ovarian dysfunction, excess androgen exposure, insulin resistance, and adiposity-related mechanisms.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2004
Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have chronic anovulation and androgen excess not attributable to another cause. This condition occurs in approximately 4% of women. The fundamental pathophysiologic defect is unknown, but important characteristics include insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, and altered gonadotropin dynamics.

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1997
The cardinal clinical features of PCOS are hirsutism and menstrual irregularity from anovulation. Obesity occurs in approximately 50% of hyperandrogenic anovulatory women, some of whom also have non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Underlying these clinical findings are several biochemical abnormalities, including LH hypersecretion ...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Nursing Clinics of North America, 2018
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a commonly occurring endocrine disorder characterized by hirsutism, anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. Often comorbid with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and obesity, it also carries significant risk for the development of cardiovascular and metabolic sequelae, including diabetes and metabolic syndrome ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome

Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, 2003
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is classically thought of as the triad of oligo/amenorrhea hirsutism and obesity. However it has become apparent that this disorder is heterogeneous and many subtypes exist. The basic abnormality relates to overproduction of androgens primarily from the ovary leading to the symptoms of menstrual dysfunction and ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1993
Polycystic ovary syndrome, characterized by hyperandrogenism and menstrual irregularities, is a heterogeneous group of disorders that can disrupt normal hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian function. Ovarian physiology is reviewed with regard to possible etiologies for excessive androgen secretion. Similar features may be present in errors in steroidogenesis,
