Abstract:
The etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is unknown, which is closely related to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. There are several controversies on PCOS diagnosis because of its diversity and heterogeneity in clinical manifestations. PCOS biomarkers have become a research hotspot. The methods of treatment include lifestyle interventions and improving metabolic dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and reproduction abnormality. This article reviews the latest research progress in the morbidity characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and the therapy of PCOS.
