The polycystic ovary syndrome: the first 150 years of study

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The communities of reproductive medicine and reproductive sciences have been witness to an enormous acceleration of interest in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) since the mid-19th century. Although progress has been increasingly palpable, the fundamentals of the etiology and pathophysiology of PCO remain as elusive as ever. Particularly lacking is a requisite understanding of events at the cellular and molecular levels. As we cross the millennial divide, it appears appropriate that an interim progress report be crafted. This treatise is attempting to meet this objective. What follows traces the chronology of the recorded history of PCO in 4 parts.
