Abstract:
Although there is general agreement about the polycystic ovary as an anatomic entity, a classic description of an associated syndrome remains elusive. This lack of definition, however, has not impeded clinical investigation. This article focuses on the diagnosis, pathogenesis, hypotheses, and treatment of polycystic ovarian disease.
