Overview

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading endocrine disorder of the reproductive system, affecting 10 to 13% of women of childbearing age. However, there is a significant delay in diagnosis, which may be due to considerable clinical heterogeneity and a lack of information among the general population. The diagnosis is made when two of the three Rotterdam criteria established in 2003 and revised in 2023 are met, namely: 1) menstrual cycle disorders (oligoanovulation) - 2) clinical or biological hyperandrogenism - 3) OPK morphological appearance or elevated anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, after exclusion of differential diagnoses. PCOS is a condition that carries a risk of metabolic complications and fertility problems due to dysovulation. Patients have an impaired quality of life and are at greater risk of anxiety and depression, which should be screened for systematically.
