It is also associated with a complex genetic trait, where multiple genetic variants and environmental factors interact to promote the development of the disease. Usually cause infertility due to the menstrual and ovulatory dysfunction. For its diagnosis is often used the Rotterdam 2003 criteria and for its treatment is initially recommended weight loss because it leads to the restoration of the normal ovulatory cycles and improves insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism and pregnancy rates. The pharmacological treatment starts with the combination of metformin and clomiphene citrate and if this combination is not successful the second-line treatment includes the administration of gonadotropins followed by in vitro fertilization.
