Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Presenting an overview of the current understanding of the pathophysiology of PCOS and a paradigm for the clinical
evaluation and management of the disorder, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is written in an easy to digest, concise format
that, with bulleted key points introducing each chapter, is suitable for the trainee and the busy clinician. The
breadth and depth of coverage of today뭩 queries and controversies will be of particular interest to the specialist
and researcher. An international group of leading experts addresses the varied etiologies of PCOS, comprehensively
covering the contemporary treatment approaches and long-term implications of PCOS, a common yet poorly understood
disorder. Chapters on treatment will be of particular relevance to the clinician and the trainee as they cover
conventional therapies, lifestyle, and diet, as well as address emerging strategies such as the use of statins and
surgery in PCOS management.

Spanning the breadth of clinical presentations and morbidities related to the diagnosis of PCOS, Polycystic Ovary
Syndrome is an exceptional resource for primary care providers, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and
others involved in the care of these patients, and provides the essential tools to aid clinicians in initiating a
timely diagnostic workup and appropriate interventions to address both the immediate and long-term sequelae related to
PCOS.
