Polycystic ovary syndrome: the present position

Abstract

This article discusses two areas that have seen progress in our understanding and management of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The first relates to factors responsible for clinical expression of the disorder, the second to the management of infertility by surgical methods. These two areas have been chosen partly because of their intrinsic importance and partly because they indicate the breadth of work being pursued by investigators and clinicians in this field.
