Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, as well as being a major cause of infertility and pregnancy complications. It includes symptoms of hyperandrogenism, the presence of hyperandrogenaemia, oligo-ovulation or anovulation and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound. It is strongly associated with complications that may arise from it, including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The main aims of treatment are directed at reducing hyperandrogenism or inducing fertility. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at these in more detail as well as what to remember when dealing with patients with PCOS in primary care.
