a. ovarian cancer.
b. infertility.
c. early menopause.
d. pelvic inflammatory disease.

Because FSH levels are not totally depressed, new follicular growth is continuously stimulated, but not to full maturation and ovulation. Symptoms are related to anovulation and hyperandro-genism and include infertility. PCOS is not associated with ovarian cancer, early menopause, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
