The Lancet, 2007 Polycystic ovary syndrome is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder that affects about one in 15 women worldwide. The major endocrine disruption is excessive androgen secretion or activity, and a large proportion of women also have abnormal insulin activity.

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 (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 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 ...

<p>Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous familial disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation with onset during the peripubertal years. PCOS was initially reported in 1935 as Stein-Leventhal syndrome. Clinical features include amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and enlarged polycystic ovaries.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex and still poorly understood process. This review examines current theories regarding the development of PCOS and focuses on the physiologic processes involved in the pubertal and adolescent period and their relationship with pathogenesis of PCOS.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrine disturbance to affect women, with approximately 10–15% of women experiencing this problem. It involves a spectrum of signs and symptoms, which include menstrual cycle disturbance and infertility, dermatological problems of acne and hirsutism (sometimes alopecia), and being overweight.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent disorder, representing the single most common endocrine–metabolic disorder in reproductive-aged women. Currently there are four recognized phenotypes of PCOS: 1) hyperandrogenism+oligo-anovulation+polycystic ovarian morphology; 2) hyperandrogenism+oligo-anovulation; 3) hyperandrogenism+polycystic ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a heterogeneous and chronic condition, today affects about 5% of women of reproductive age. PCOS is strongly associated with states of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Risk factors include genetics, metabolic profiles, and the in utero environment.

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,
