Continuing metformin throughout pregnancy in women with polycystic ovary syndrome appears to safely reduce first-trimester spontaneous abortion : a pilot study

Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and treatment of metabolic syndrome in newly referred women with confirmed polycystic ovarian syndrome.
TL;DR: Metformin and diet ameliorate many of the features of the metabolic syndrome, present in 46% of women with PCOS in the current study, and should reduce risk for atherothrombosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in PCOS.

Metformin-induced resumption of normal menses in 39 of 43 (91%) previously amenorrheic women with the polycystic ovary syndrome.
