How do you know you have pcos? also, what tests do you need in order to diagnose pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS is diagnosed by taking a detailed medical history to look for symptoms like irregular periods, abnormal hair growth, dark skin around then next and weight gain. Sometimes a sonogram will show ovaries with a chocolate chip cookie appearance. Some PCOS patients will have abnormal lab tests. The next step is to see an Obgyn who can help evaluate for this common condition.
