Diagnosis and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Pediatric Gynaecology

Abstract

Diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescence still raises many questions. The problem is that the characteristics of normal puberty often coincide with PCOS symptoms, so a number of researchers suggest to apply more stringent requirements to diagnosing. We use a cautious approach to a final diagnosis of PCOS because of its interpretation as a global problem of somatic health — endocrine and metabolic status, cardiovascular and oncogenic risk. In addition, one of the main therapies for PCOS is application of combined oral contraceptives, which are undesirable to use in adolescent girls with oligo- and amenorrhea without careful examination and use of all the abilities of vitamine therapy, phytotherapy and gestagens.
