Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenemia and menstrual disorders. Patients not only have a high incidence of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, but also a high incidence of sleep disorders, especially obstructive sleep apnea. Obesity, hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance,and other factors are responsible for the high prevalence of sleep apnea in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
