Study of Effect of Metformin in PCOS Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also called hyperandrogenic anovulation (HA), or SteinLeventhal syndrome, is one of the most common endocrinal disorders among females. PCOS produces symptoms in approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age (approximately 12 to 45 years old)1 . It is characterized by chronic anovulation with either oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea and hyperandrogenism and is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility and hirsutism (Solomon, 1999).2 Anovulation results in irregular menstruation, amenorrhoea, and ovulation-related infertility. Hormone imbalance generally causes acne and hirsutism. Insulin resistance is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among affected women
