Polycystic ovarian syndrome in infertility
نویسنده
چکیده
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition of unexplained hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation that most likely represents a heterogenous disorder. About 10% of women in the reproductive age group suffer from this disorder. Many adolescent girls and young adults seek consultation because of this disorder. It’s etiology is as yet undefined, and therapy remains largely symptomatic and empirical. PCOS is associated with metabolic sequelae including risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disorders and hence needs attention to these sequlae. Till 2003 diagnostic criteria for PCOS were varied and often confusing. However the Joint European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and The American Society for Reproductive Medicine ESHRE/ASRM sponsored consensus meeting in Rotterdam in 2003 accepted that PCOS consists of the presence of any 2 of the 3 criteria. Oligoand/or anovulation, clinical and /or biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism and the presence of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound examination. Other etiologies like congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s syndrome, and androgen secreting tumours need to be excluded1. Ultrasonographic scanning of women with unexplained hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation frequently reveal ovaries that are polycystic2. Sonography shows ovarian enlargement, multiple (>10 mm) small follicles at the periphery with increased echogenicity. However polycystic ovaries are a non-specific finding often noted in women with no endocrine or metabolic abnormalities.
