A member asked:
How is hypergonadism diagnosed in a woman? i think that in a man it may be by symptoms but in women they overlap with pcos so how can a doctor tell the difference? there's a non functional pituitary tumor present and patient is not insulin resistant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normally history and physical may be supplemented with lab work and scans
