“…An mFG score of 5 or greater is out of the norm for Chinese women from the general unselected population. By using a score of 5 as the cutoff value for hirsutism [9] and according to Table II, the incidence of PCOS is 43.2% in Chinese women.…”

“…Several years ago, there was a domestic small-scale epidemiological survey in some areas of China, and the results indicated that the prevalence of PCOS in reproductive age women was 6.46-7.2% on the diagnosis of PCOS recommended in the 2003 Rotterdam criteria. In recent years, a nationwide, large sample, multicentre study in China has shown that the prevalence of PCOS in reproductive age women was 11.8% [9]. Given China's large population of 1.3 billion, and that females account for half of the total, according to the prevalence rate of the study the consequences could be disastrous.…”

“…One approach to defining hirsutism is using a FG score above the 95th percentile for the population, which is >8 in premenopausal adult White and Black women [24] . Hirsutism, similarly defined, is indicated by a score ≥ 9-10 in Mediterranean, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern women, ≥ 2 for Han Chinese women, and ≥ 5 in Southern Chinese women [36] . Nevertheless, using a cluster analysis, modified FG scores >3 were uncommon among an unselected group of adult White and Black women [37] .…”

The Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome during Adolescence

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

dress a series of questions regarding the diagnosis of PCOS during adolescence including the following: clinical and biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism, criteria for oligoanovulation and polycystic ovary morphology, diagnostic criteria to exclude other causes of hyperandrogenism and amenorrhea, role of insulin resistance, and intervention. Results and Conclusion: Features of PCOS overlap normal pubertal development. Hence, caution should be taken before diagnosing PCOS without longitudinal evaluation. However, treatment may be indicated even in the absence of a definitive diagnosis. While obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia are common findings in adolescents with hyperandrogenism, these features should not be used to diagnose PCOS among adolescent girls. © 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel Key WordsHyperandrogenism · Ovarian hyperandrogenism · Ovary · Polycystic ovary syndrome · Puberty Abstract Background/Aims: The diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescence are controversial, primarily because the diagnostic pathological features used in adult women may be normal pubertal physiological events. Hence, international pediatric and adolescent specialty societies have defined criteria that have sufficient evidence to be used for the diagnosis of PCOS in adolescents. Methods: The literature has been reviewed and evidence graded to ad-

“…С учетом изложенного состояния проблемы, весьма перспективным представляется применение в терапии больных УБ широкого спектра лечебно-биологических механизмов и эффектов низкоин-тенсивной лазерной терапии (НИЛТ) и фотодина-мической терапии (ФДТ), которые успешно ис-пользуются в разных областях дерматологии и смежных дисциплин, включая сопутствующую па-тологию [8,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
