Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

To date, clomiphene citrate (CC) remains the first therapeutical step for inducing ovulation in anovulatory PCOS patients. Metformin alone or combined with CC is a valid second step approach, whereas the laparoscopic ovarian diathermy can be useful only in selected cases.
