Polycystic ovaries in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: similarity of ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
To characterize the ovarian response in patients with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with ultrasound (US) findings of polycystic ovaries (PCO). ⋯ We have characterized a group of hypogonadotropic patients with US findings of PCO, in which the ovarian response to ovulation induction was similar to patients with PCOS. The results have practical and theoretical implications for the etiology and treatment of patients with PCO.
