This document discusses the diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Diagnosis involves identifying oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries via ultrasound. Treatment first recommends weight loss to increase ovulation probability. If that fails, options include using clomiphene citrate to induce ovulation, prescribing metformin for patients with hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, or using oral contraceptive pills.
