Hyperandrogenism in infertility.
Hyperandrogenism, whether of ovarian or adrenal etiology, can be associated with impairment of folliculogenesis, resulting in anovulation. Various therapeutic modalities can be utilized to reestablish ovulation, including correction of the underlying pathophysiology, the use of fertility-promoting drugs and surgery.
