It was first time described by Stein and Leventhal in 1935 so called Stein and Leventhal syndrome. It is characterised by a combination of hyperandrogenism either clinical or biochemical, chronic anovulation and polycystic ovaries. It is frequently associated with insulin resistance and obesity. It is the best known and most extensively studied cause of an ovulatory infertility in the reproductive age women.
