| Abstract
|
:
|
Presents an overview of current knowledge of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), its etiology, and pathology, and the implications for effective medical management. In contrast with existing titles, this book focuses on the difficulty in making an accurate diagnosis and the consequential problem of identifying the most effective program of management. Among the most important consequences of PSOS is infertility, and the authors provide clear guidance on the role of new assisted reproductive technologies to overcome this problem. The book is well illustrated with tables, graphs, and charts that help explain physiologic principles.
