Androgen Excess Society criteria of defining PCO

 

The  Androgen Excess Society (AES) has proposed a new set of diagnostic criteria in 2006 (Azziz et al., 2006), they are still the most widely adopted criteria by different guidelines and are used by a wide range of obstetricians and gynecologists as well as other specialists. However subsequent to  AES classification  two further consensus workshops regarding infertility management were held . Which consensus centered  on  Women's health aspects of PCOS??  The  various health aspects of PCOS  women were duly considered  and duly  published afterwards (Thessaloniki ESHRE/ASRM-Sponsored PCOS Consensus Workshop Group, 2008; Amsterdam ESHRE/ASRM-Sponsored 3rd PCOS Consensus Workshop Group, 2012). Although the Rotterdam criteria remained   controversial (Azziz, 2006; Franks, 2006) and possibly don’t apply in modern day medicine much.
