A member asked:

No cysts, no elevated/abnormal male hormones. only symptoms are weight gain and irregular period. doc says it's pcos. have i been falsely diagnosed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely correct: Although the acronym PCOS stands for polycystic ovaries, the presence or absence of cysts is not used to make the diagnosis. The "male" hormones may not be elevated in PCOS.
