Assessment and management of anovulatory infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome

Stephen Franks. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2003 Sep.

Abstract

PCOS is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility. Anovulation in PCOS is exacerbated by weight gain and improved by calorie restriction in overweight subjects. Fertility can usually be restored by appropriate choice of induction of ovulation, but careful monitoring is required, even when using clomiphene alone.
