Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition of ladies, identified by a heterogeneous discussion of hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction. We aimed to construct a systematic review and of all available studies to document the reported overall prevalence and diagnostic approaches of PCOS according to all diagnostic criteria. An extensive literature search was performed up to October 2016 in PubMed and OvidSP by different blind investigators to generate the review analysis. This review showed that PCOS prevalence under the NIH criteria, in a predominately different communities, is higher than previously believed. The reported frequency of PCO morphology was over 40% in many studies, therefore these findings might guide the local use of different diagnostic criteria and adoption of treatment approaches according to geographical region.
