How many cyst should i have on ovaries to diagnosed with pcos ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS DX: It takes more than a "necklace sign" 10--20 small cysts on the outer edge of the ovary to make the diagnosis of PCOS. You also need irregular menstrual cycles and/or elevated male hormone levels to make this diagnosis and to rule out other conditions.
