Overview
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may be classified into 4 types based on the severity of symptoms into asymptomatic form, mild form, classical form, and metabolic form.
Classification
PCOS may be classified into 4 types based upon severity of symptoms into:[1][2] [1]
- Asymptomatic form: Women with only polycystic ovarian morphology
- Mild form: Polycystic ovarian morphology along with anovulation
- Classical form: Hyperandrogenism along with ovarian dysfunction (anovulation and/or poly cystic ovarian )
- Metabolic form: Combination of mild and classical forms with presence of obesity and/or insulin resistance (abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, raised waist-hip ratio)
