It also addresses issues such as body image, quality of life, obesity, diet, long-term sequelae like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and associated gynecologic malignancies. Clinical presentations such as hirsutism, androgenic alopecia, acne, menstrual disturbances, infertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, and management during climacteric and menopause are discussed.
