Summary
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common cause of irregular periods, poor ovulation and delay in
achieving pregnancy. Certain drugs may help improve ovarian activity in such women as
metformin. Oral administration of metformin is accompanied by undesirable side effects. The
vagina proved to be a good alternative to the oral route for other drugs. Using metformin
through the vagina and avoidance of such side effects, while maintaining its effectiveness,
would help women to better tolerate this drug.
