Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is among the most common disorders in women of reproductive age, affecting up to 15% worldwide, depending on diagnostic criteria. PCOS characterized by a constellation interrelated abnormalities, including disordered gonadotropin secretion, increased androgen production, chronic anovulation, and polycystic ovarian morphology. It frequently associated with insulin resistance obesity. These metabolic derangements cause major morbidities across lifespan, anovulatory infertility type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite decades investigative effort, etiology remains unknown. Familial clustering cases has indicated genetic contribution PCOS.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous and extremely common disease with symptoms that vary the age of patient, typically characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic oligo-anovulation, and/or several metabolic disorders. The includes various phenotypes, pathogenesis multifactorial, often involving insulin resistance. This feature closely related to ovarian dysfunction, inflammation, disorders, which characterize complicate syndrome. Therapy currently considers both lifestyle improvements medications, must be tailored on case-by-case basis. To date, published studies have not arrived at definition most suitable therapy for each individual case many drugs used are still off-label. In this review, we discuss some controversial diagnostic therapeutic aspects PCOS, such as role resistance, hyperandrogenism. We also evaluated advantages disadvantages contraceptive antiandrogens.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects large proportion of women. Due to its heterogeneity, the best diagnostic strategy has been matter contention. Since 1990 scientific societies in field human reproduction have tried define pivotal criteria for diagnosis PCOS. The consensus Rotterdam included presence hyperandrogenism, oligo/anovulation, and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM), now updated evidence based 2018 2023 International Guideline endorsed by 39 internationally. Within Criteria, at least two out three above-mentioned features are required be present diagnose PCOS, resulting four phenotypes being identified: phenotype A, characterized all features, B, exhibiting hyperandrogenism oligo-anovulation, C, presenting as PCOM finally D oligo-anovulation PCOM, lacking hyperandrogenic component. However, it hypothesis EGOI group C different underlying causality D. Recent studies highlighted strong correlation between insulin resistance role these factors driving alterations, such follicular functional cyst formation.
