[Current criterion for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome].
The current consensus on diagnostic criteria of polycystic ovary syndrome has concluded that it is a syndrome of ovarian dysfunction along with hyperandrogenism and morphology of polycystic ovary. The clinical manifestations may include irregular menses, androgen excess, and obesity, but insulin resistance is also a common feature. There is an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Treatment of polycystic ovary includes ovulation induction, amelioration of androgen signs and correction of insulin resistance.
