Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders of women of reproductive age, which negatively affects the reproductive and mental health of women. Hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovary morphology are diagnostic criteria of PCOS. While obesity, increased cardiovascular risk factors, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinism, and type 2 diabetes mellitus are common symptoms among women with PCOS, they are not required criteria for diagnosis. Since PCOS leads to infertility, early diagnosis and treatments are critical, particularly at the extreme ends of the reproductive lifespan. Therefore, in recent years, understanding the underlying mechanisms, diagnosis, and clinical management of PCOS have become increasingly significant. Lifestyle therapy, in vitro fertilization, surgical therapy, and pharmacotherapy are used to manage the infertility of women with PCOS. In fact, with the latest advances, potential therapeutic options have increased, giving patients and clinicians more choices.
This Special Issue of “Advances in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Research” will include original research articles and review articles addressing recent advances in our knowledge about etiology, pathophysiology and diagnosis of PCOS as well as advances in therapeutic options for managing PCOS. The roles of oxidative stress and the outcome of antioxidant therapy in PCOS are also of great interest.
