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


ANS: B
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.
