metformin for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

March 2000

Some physicians are now prescribing metformin for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)...a common endocrine disorder in women.

This disorder gets its name from the numerous cysts that form on the ovaries. It affects up to 10% of women of childbearing age...many aren't even diagnosed.

These women have menstrual irregularities and excessive androgen levels. This often leads to infertility, obesity, acne, hirsutism, etc.
