Abstract
PCOS is the commonest endocrinopathy occurring in women of reproductive age. This study aimed at comparing the presentation of adolescents to that of women ≥ 35 years presenting to the gynaecological endocrine clinic with a diagnosis of PCOS. This was a descriptive cohort study. Since 1996 all women with PCOS have their clinical, metabolic and endocrine data entered into a database. We compared the initial presentation of adolescents and women aged 35 and above.
