STUDY OF MENSTRUAL FUNCTION IN WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME

Vesko Stoilov, Nigar Jafer, Petar Petrov, Ivo Dimitrov

Abstract


Menstrual function is a major indicator of the condition of the female reproductive system. The presence of a regular menstrual cycle, with a normal duration, a normal amount and duration of bleeding, and regular ovulations, speaks of a perfectly balanced and functioning female hormonal system at all levels of hormonal regulation. Menstrual disorders, followed by mechanical disorders in the female reproductive system, are the most common causes of female infertility.


Keywords
