A member asked:
What are the signs of pcos or the labs for diagnosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possible signs: Most women with pcos have one or more of: irregular periods or no cycles, acne, oily skin, unwanted hair growth especially on the face or lower stomach, infertility or subfertility (difficulty getting pregnant). Some women with pcos have little or no symptoms - we look at symptoms, blood tests including testosterone and dhea sulfate, and an ultrasound of the ovaries to make the diagnosis.
