PCOS: diagnosis and management of related infertility
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age. It is characterised by a combination of hyperandrogenism (either clinical or biochemical), chronic oligo/anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. It is frequently associated with insulin resistance and obesity. PCOS receives considerable attention because of its high prevalence and possible reproductive, metabolic, and cardiovascular consequences. It is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility.
