title: Practical guidelines for the treatment of infertility in hirsute women.
abstract: On the basis of retrospective investigation of 315 infertile hirsute women aged between 19 and 35 years, it was attempted to find selection criteria for infertility treatment. Cases with adrenal, ovarian and pituitary tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and genetic disorders should be excluded by means of preliminary investigations. It is possible to select the optimal treatment for each individual patient using a flow-chart. Thanks to this approach, a pregnancy rate of 83% is achieved.
