Infertility management in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a review.
Porto Biomedical Journal 2021 January
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder in women and a major cause of anovulatory infertility. Various medical options are used, alone or in combination, to treat subfertility associated with polycystic ovary syndrome. This narrative review was conducted to provide an update and summarize the available evidence on the management of polycystic ovary syndrome related infertility. A wide literature search was performed and preferably randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews were included. Management is often centered on lifestyle changes. Pharmacological ovulation induction is the next step, with recommended use of letrozole, clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins. When it fails, assisted reproductive technologies or laparoscopic ovarian drilling are frequently advised. Combination treatment with metformin is often recommended. More recent alternative and adjunctive treatments have been suggested, like inositol, vitamin D, bariatric surgery and acupuncture, but further research is needed for recommendation.
