Lack of correlation of ultrasonographically determined ovarian size with age, ponderal index, and hormonal factors in 45 patients with polycystic ovarian disease.
An ultrasonographic study was performed on 45 patients with polycystic ovarian disease. These patients demonstrated hirsutism, menstrual disturbances, or infertility, as well as an increased LH/FSH ratio and/or evidence of hyperandrogenemia. Ovarian size was not correlated with age, Ponderal Index, serum testosterone, prolactin, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate or LH/FSH ratio in the 45 subjects studied.
