The prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology is high but, in this sample of women, was accompanied by minimal clinical manifestations and apparently no deleterious effects on earlier fertility. An isolated finding of polycystic ovaries may be a normal variation and should not necessarily imply altered fertility potential.
