A more accurate term for what is often called “Polycystic Ovary Syndrome” (PCOS). AAE is diagnosed when a woman has clinical evidence of androgen excess (usually hirsutism or acne) and “funny periods” like amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea or irregular cycles, past or present ovulation disturbances (anovulatory or short luteal phase cycles). AAE is associated with both infertility and risk for insulin resistance and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.
