Are polycystic ovaries , as defined by the 2003 Rotterdam consensus criteria , found to be very common in young healthy women?
PCO were found to be very common in young women. The follicle number and ovarian volume decreased with age, and therefore also the PCO prevalence decreased with age. We believe the PCO criteria should be reconsidered and adapted to the woman's age. Ovulation occurred later with increasing follicle number.
We suggest that LA-S and LA-SR imaging is a beneficial method to evaluate LAA functions noninvasively.
