Probability that an adolescent with symptomatic anovulatory symptoms will have ongoing menstrual abnormality

The "All symptomatic anovulation" curve is derived from the data of Southam and Richart^[1]. The "Hyperandrogenic" and "Non-hyperandrogenic" curves are hypothetical and based on data discussed in UpToDate. Hyperandrogenic cases are predominantly composed of physiologic anovulation and PCOS, with PCOS persisting, while non-hyperandrogenic cases are composed of physiologic anovulation and hypogonadal cases, with hypogonadal cases persisting.

PCOS: polycystic ovary syndrome.
