ACOG technical bulletin. Hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation. Number 202--February 1995. Committee on Technical Bulletins of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Abstract
The evaluation and treatment of chronic anovulation requires knowledge of the many disorders which may present as menstrual abnormalities. The evaluation should document physical findings suggestive of androgen excess. Initial evaluation includes an orderly approach to laboratory testing. Underlying disorders may include life-threatening diagnoses. The goals of therapy include correction of life-threatening disorders, protection of endometrial health, preservation or restoration of fertility, and reversal of cosmetically disturbing hirsutism.
