Written by authorities in their fields, this book 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 PCOS is
infertility, and the authors provide clear guidance on the role of new assisted
reproductive technologies to overcome this problem. The book is extremely well
illustrated with tables, graphs, and charts that help explain physiologic
principles.
