RESUMEN
El síndrome de ovario poliquístico (SOP) es un trastorno endocrino y metabólico, heterogéneo en su presentación clínica, de probable origen genético, pero también influenciado por factores ambientales como la nutrición y la actividad física. El SOP es el problema endocrino más frecuente de la mujer en edad reproductiva, con una prevalencia aproximada de 6%. La etiología del SOP es desconocida, pero se han podido demostrar alteraciones de tipo neuroendocrino, caracterizadas por disfunción gonadotrópica, y anormalidades metabólicas, determinadas por resistencia a la insulina. El diagnóstico del SOP se basa en la presencia de oligoovulación o anovulación, hiperandrogenismo clínico o bioquímico, y la imagen de ovarios poliquísticos al ultrasonido. El tratamiento médico del SOP debe ser integral, teniendo en cuenta las alteraciones metabólicas y conjuntamente los motivos específicos de consulta de la paciente. En general, el pronóstico para la fertilidad y para el control de los síntomas clínicos como hirsutismo o acné es favorable. Sin embargo, las pacientes con SOP deben ser evaluadas a largo plazo para evitar en lo posible el desarrollo de enfermedades metabólicas como la diabetes mellitus.
