New diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) suggested three main phenotypes: classic (hyperandrogenism and anovulation), ovulatory, and normoandrogenic. However, it is unclear whether the normoandrogenic phenotype actually represents PCOS. Overall, 6% to 8% of reproductive-aged women suffer from PCOS, making this disorder one of the most common endocrine abnormalities.
多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的新诊断标准提出了三种主要表型：经典型（高雄激素血症和无排卵）、排卵型和正常雄激素型。然而，尚不清楚正常雄激素型表型是否真的代表PCOS。总体而言，6%至8%的育龄妇女患有PCOS，这使该疾病成为最常见的内分泌异常之一。
