Metabolic characteristics of women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) according to the Rotterdam criteria - our own experience.

CONCLUSIONS: The metabolic characteristics of women diagnosed with the PCOS according to the Rotterdam criteria can be variant. PCOS is not necessarily connected with insulin resistance and obesity. Diagnosis of PCOS does not determine metabolic state of the individual so it should be postulated that every diagnosis of PCOS should by specified by information about the phenotype. Only precise information about the phenotype allows assessing the metabolic and cardiovascular risk and introducing optimal treatment. PMID: 30796793 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
