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.
