PCOS: Hi. PCOS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning since there is no specific, definitive test for it, other conditions (that are treated differently) may need to be excluded before PCOS is the settled upon diagnosis. These most commonly are congenital adrenal hyperplasia and Cushing's syndrome. The most common treatments for PCOS are metformin, BCPs, and spironolactone, either alone or in combination
