Abstract
Recommendations have been provided for the diagnosis and therapy of polycystic ovary
syndrome in adolescence from 3 international expert conferences 2015-2018. Despite
agreement about essentials, differences among details of these recommendations have
engendered confusion. This commentary provides perspective about the agreements and
disagreements among these recommendations and how these recommendations relate to
other guidance. It concludes with practice suggestions that align with these recommendations.
