Excess ovarian activity, chronic anovulation, and androgen excess are the common traits of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Several advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology in the process of finding quicker and more effective management measures. Androgen excess in PCOS was found to correlate with markedly elevated luteinizing hormone pulsatility. Impaired insulin response is also attributed to PCOS. Regimen with 3 mg drospirenone + 20 μg ethinyl estradiol combination is beneficial for hormonal imbalance and lipid profile while having a substantial safety profile. Clinical evidence has demonstrated that a 40:1 combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol restores ovulation in PCOS women. For women with clomiphene citrate-resistant PCOS, laparoscopic ovarian drilling has proved to be a safe and effective surgical alternative. PCOS is also an indication of bariatric surgery. To conclude, constitutional management by a multidisciplinary team may be helpful for women with PCOS. Lifestyle interventions are best advised and, in so doing, decrease body adiposity and recuperate their metabolic and reproductive health.
