Description/Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine
disorders in women of childbearing age. Typically women will
have menstrual disturbances, increased hair growth, acne and infrequent
or absentmenstrual periods. The polycystic ovary is characterised
by a marked increase in preantral follicles, arranged peripherally
around a dense core of stroma or scattered throughout
an increased amount of stroma (Balen 2003). Polycystic ovary
syndrome (PCOS) affects approximately 10% of women worldwide
(Adams 1986; Homburg 2008). Other associated co-morbidities
of PCOS are obesity andmetabolic disorders (Kiddy 1992;
Giallauria 2008) such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
(Giallauria 2008).
The Rotterdam meeting in 2003 endorsed a consensus regarding
the diagnosis of the syndrome (ESHRE/ASRMPCOS Consensus
2004a; ESHRE/ASRM PCOS Consensus 2004b) and a further
meeting in Greece in 2007 proposed evidence-based management
for the treatment of PCOS related subfertility (Thessaloniki
ESHRE/ASRM PCOS Consensus 2008). However, very little
consensus guidance addresses themanagement of the non-fertility
related symptoms of this condition.
