| | Accurate endocrine characterization of patients enables the recognition of biochemically more homogeneous subgroups of PCOS, which further provides facilities to better evaluate the pathogenesis of each of these subsets, and provide data necessary for formulating specific therapy. | | | The pathogenesis of PCOS is difficult to ascertain in view of the many subsets and different phenotypes of the syndrome. | | | Presently, ovarian morphology can easily be identified by ultrasound~\cite{Adams1985}, which has revealed that PCOS is not only linked to the "classic Stein-Leventhal syndrome", but women with polycystic ovaries exhibit a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. |
