Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the major cause of anovulatory infertility. Throughout the years, several and effective medical and surgical therapies have been proposed to treat the ovarian dysfunction. To date, new effective and cheap drugs, such as metformin and aromatase inhibitors, are available. The aim of the present descriptive review is to describe the main therapeutic approaches for treating infertile patients with PCOS.
