Abstract

<p>Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was first clinically described in 1935 (Stein & Leventhal, 1935). PCOS is the most common endocrinopathy in fertile age women and occurs in 6-10% of fertile age women (Azziz et al., 2004) (Barber et al., 2006). The prevalence of PCOS (according to Rotterdam diagnostic criteria) has been found to be up to 10% (Bozdag et al., 2016). </p&gt
