Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders in women of childbearing age,which may have adverse effects on both pregnant and non-pregnant women.In recent years,it has been found that PCOS appears to increase risks of developing adverse outcomes,which may be related to insulin resistance,obesity,glucose and lipid metabolic disorders and hyperandrogenism.Proper management of PCOS in prepregnancy,preg⁃nancy and postpartum might play important roles in the prevention of short-term and long-term complications.The metabolic characteristics and management of PCOS are reviewed in this article.
