Management of infertility in the setting of polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder which affects a significant number of premenopausal women in Australia. PCOS has long-term clinical implications which can lead to decreased quality of life and psychological morbidity. A major contributing factor to this is the impact of PCOS on a woman’s fertility.
