A Guide to the Polycystic Ovary: Its Effects on Health and Fertility

If groups of women with irregular periods are looked at, up to 90% will have polycystic ovaries at ultrasound. Several studies have looked at populations of volunteers, and have reported the ultrasound appearance of polycystic ovaries in as many as one in three to one in five. This book looks at the historical background of this condition; symptoms and signs; diagnostic techniques; long-term effects; in-vitro fertilization; pregnancy outcomes.
