Research Progress on Mechanism of Ovulation Disorder in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is a reproductive endocrine disease characterized by ovulation disorder,hyperandrogenism and/or polycystic ovary.Follicular development disorder caused by PCOS accounts for up to 75%of anovulatory infertility,which is a common cause of infertility and affects up to 15%of reproductive aged women worldwide.Oxidative stress,chronic inflammation,endoplasmic reticulum stress and other pathological conditions coexist in the ovarian microenvironment of PCOS,which are further aggravated under the action of high levels of androgens,synergistically deteriorating the follicular microenvironment,leading to ovulation disorders in PCOS patients.This paper briefly reviewed the research on the mechanism of PCOS ovulation disorder in recent years.
