Cues: Hi. PCOS is typified by irregular or absent periods, hirsutism, overweight, high testosterone, insulin resistance (& sometimes type 2 diabetes), and often a high LH:FSH ratio. If you suspect you have PCOS, see your primary doctor, gynecologist, or an endocrinologist. PCOS is a diagnosis of exclusion; Cushing's and non-classical congenital hyperplasia need to at least be considered. Good luck!

Check with your MD.: Gynecologists and reproductive endocrinologists are the experts to see if you think you have pcos/hcas. They will run various blood and imaging tests to determine if you fit the bill.
