Correlative aspects of ovarian reserve and severity of polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract

Introduction. Polycystic ovary syndrome is primarily diagnosed in the early years of the fertile period. Clinical expressions are variable, and may include oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism (clinical or biochemical) and ultrasonographic polycystic ovary signs, according to the Rotterdam criteria. All of these complexes are the cause of anovulatory infertility (Fanchin R1, Schonäuer LM, Righini C, Human Reproduction, 2003, Farquar C., Lilford RJ, Marjoribanks J., Chochrane Database Syst. Rev., 2007) A variety of clinical and experimental studies are directed to the PCOS events. However, the etiology of the syndrome remains obscure, and the variability of phenotypic expression continues to be a challenge both from the clinical and research point of view (Leelan L., Acharya U., J. Obstet, Gynaecol., 2009).
