How probable is it to be diagnosed with pcos without having all of the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: To be very technical you can be diagnosed with pcos without having any symptoms, but signs. Most experts (not all) agree that pcos is diagnosed based on 1) irregular/skipped periods, 2) ultrasound appearance, 3) elevated blood androgen levels. The reason it's called a syndrome is because not all patients have excatly the same symptoms.
