Resumen
GUZMAN LOPEZ, Julieth Alexandra et al. Review of diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome. Medicas UIS [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.3, pp.21-28. Epub 30-Oct-2020. ISSN 0121-0319. https://doi.org/10.18273/revmed.v33n3-2020002.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most frequent metabolic endocrine disorder in women of childbearing age, having implications at both the reproductive, metabolic, cardiovascular and psychosocial levels. Currently, its overdiagnosis corresponds to a common problem derived from the heterogeneity in the application of the criteria currently endorsed for its discovery, which has contributed to the increase in unnecessary treatments, as well as the negative effects on the quality of life and well-being of falsely rated patients with this disorder. A search was made in PubMed-MENDELEY and Ovid between the months of February to April of 2020, obtaining 43 articles related to the topic, published in the last 10 years. The knowledge on the part of the trained medical personnel about the current consensuses for the correct evaluation of the syndrome and the individualized study of each case, correspond to the most appropriate measures for the reduction of this event.
