Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disease in women of reproductive age, which not only affects reproduction, but also has a close relationship with metabolism. Androgen excess is an important characteristic, and abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism are common metabolic disorders in PCOS women. Androgen excess is correlated with insulin resistance in PCOS, which is also associated with dyslipidemia. The close link among the three factors promotes the occurrence and development of PCOS. Early screen and control of metabolic abnormalities would be beneficial for the complication prevention for PCOS patients for long term. In this paper, we discussed androgen excess, metabolic abnormalities and their relationship, as well as treatment in PCOS.
