We conducted a three-dimensional ultrasonographic evaluation of the size
and structure of the ovaries of women who had clinical and biochemical
findings suggestive of polycystic ovary syndrome. We carried out a
comparative color Doppler frequency and color Doppler amplitude study of
the vascular patterns of these ovaries. This study involved 65 women of
reproductive age with polycystic ovary syndrome and 25 eumenorrheic women
who were not taking hormonal contraceptives and who had a body mass index
below 25 kg/m2. Compared to controls, women with polycystic ovary syndrome
had larger ovaries and thicker stroma, increased impedance in the uterine
arteries, increased stromal vascularity with decreased impedance that
persisted throughout the menstrual cycle, and a lack of luteal conversion.
