Phytotherapy for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

چکیده
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), also known as SteinLeventhal syndrome, is a common gynecological disorder characterized by hypergonadotrophism, hirsutism, obesity, oligomenorrhea and commonly associated with infertility. PCOS is a complex clinical picture and presents a multifaceted etiology related to imbalance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thyroid involvement and metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance). There is substantial evidence that PCOS should no longer be considered purely a gynecological disorder, but rather a complex endocrine disorder.
