Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), initially characterized by Stein and Leventhal in 1935, is a multifaceted disorder characterized by persistent anovulation resulting from hyperandrogenism, amenorrhea, or oligomenorrhea. (Stein & Leventhal, 1935). It is approximated to impact between 5% to 10% of women in the age group of reproductive years. (Ehrmann, 2005). In clinical terms, it manifests with a spectrum of various symptoms:

| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
