Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrinological problem in women of reproductive age. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a heterogenous disorder and patients may attend different clinics depending on the main complaint. The exact pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome remains obscure, although there have been insights that have thrown light on this condition. Consensus on the definition of the syndrome has only been recently achieved. The management of polycystic ovary syndrome poses a challenge to the physician as responses to the different treatment regimes have proved to be inconsistent. Diet and lifestyle advice, restoration of menstrual cycle regularity, treatment of hyperandrogenism, treatment of infertility and prevention of long-term consequences form the basis of polycystic ovary syndrome management. This review aims to provide the reader with the latest evidence in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as focus on some of the controversies surrounding its management.
