Overview
The diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome will probably change. Concerning ultrasonographic appearance of ovaries, the cut off for the number of small folicles necessary to diagnose polycystic ovary will increase. Anti Mullerian hormone could be incorporated into diagnostic criteria. Diabetes mellitus is encountered 4 times more frequently than in body mass index matched controls. Coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are up to 2 times more common in polycystic ovary syndrome than in controls. Metformin led to higher number of pregnancies comparing to clomifen in non obese women.
Key words:
antimullerian hormone – coronary heart disease – diabetes mellitus type 2 – polycystic ovary syndrome – metformin
