Abstract

BALCEIRO BATISTA, Lester et al. Polycystic ovary syndrome, an entity demanding an early diagnosis. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.4, pp.940-958.  Epub Aug 30, 2019. ISSN 1684-1824.

Polycystic ovary syndrome has become a public health problem, being the most common of the endocrine disorders in reproductive-age women, with studies reporting prevalence by 21 %. The diagnosis of this entity is important because it represents metabolic and cardiovascular risk, and affects the reproductive capacity of these patients. The authors carried out bibliographic review of the main articles related with the theme, summarizing the basic aspects of this health problem.

Keywords : polycystic ovary syndrome; diagnosis; treatment.
