This syndrome is highly prevalent, affecting between 8 and 18% of the female population, depending on the diagnostic criteria used. Hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction and metabolic abnormalities - the main determinants of PCOS - all appear to be involved in a synergistic way in the pathophysiology of PCOS.
