Clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents with both polycystic ovary disease and anorexia nervosa.
In girls evaluated for anorexia nervosa (AN), coexistence of polycystic ovary disease (PCOS) was found when menstrual irregularities existed before weight loss, cessation of menses occurred at a relatively elevated body mass index, and LH and estrogen levels were elevated compared with adolescents with AN alone. In adolescents with PCOS + AN weight gain beyond recommended weight should not be advised.
