Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOs) is a public health important disease, affecting one in five women at reproductive age. The clinical implications include reproductive, metabolic and psychological features. This article reviews the literature data related to the new metabolic and hormonal mechanisms in PCOs.

Recognizing the real diagnostic of PCOs, using the right criteria, is a challenge in current practice.
