Abstract:
The management of oligo-amenorrhea in adolescent patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represents an important and difficult challenge. Metformin and/or oral contraceptives (OCs) are different strategies widely proposed in these patients. The objective of the current review was to provide an overview on the use of metformin and/or OCs for the management of oligo-amenorrhea in adolescents with PCOS underlining their potential risks and benefits in order to help the clinician to choose the best patients' tailored treatment. © 2014 Informa UK Ltd.
