"History of PCOS Although the modern history of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) started with the pivotal paper by Stein and Leventhal in 1935, (1) there are suggestions that the "syndrome" was referred to as early as in the time of Hippocrates (460 BC-377 BC). Medical notes at the time have referred to women "whose menstruation is less than three days or is meager, are robust, with a healthy complexion and a masculine appearance; yet they are not concerned about bearing children nor do they become pregnant" and suggest that they may have been describing women with PCOS(2)"--
