Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a most common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age. Most studies suggest that insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism and obesity play an important role in the pathophysiology of PCOS. Adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, such as Gestational diabetes mellitus, pregnancy-induced hypertension, are always observed clinically. Therefore, we review the relative factors about adverse outcomes, for example, the development competence of follicles and embryos, the endometrial receptivity in PCOS women, and the relationship between PCOS and pregnancy complications, in order to investigate the effects of preconceptional anti-androgenic treatment on pregnancy outcomes.

Key words: polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, development of follicle, pregnant outcomes
