ABSTRACT
Polycystic ovary syndrome affects 5% to 10% of
reproductive-age women and it is one of the
most common endocrine disorders in women. It
is a heterogeneous syndrome of hyperandrogenic
anovulation that is typically due to intrinsic ovarian
dysfunction. Although patients affected are
often very disturbed by the cutaneous manifestations,
including acne, hirsutism, alopecia and
acanthosis nigricans, the clinical manifestations
of polycystic ovary syndrome ramify far beyond
the skin. Polycystic ovary syndrome frequently
causes menstrual abnormalities and infertility.
This syndrome is often aggravated by insulinresistant
hyperinsulinemia with its risks of diabetes
mellitus and metabolic syndrome and their complications.
Among the most important factors in
their approach is the reduction in weight as well
as the desire to conceive, treatment is decided
based on these points.
