Yes, BUT..: The rotterdam criteria for the diagnosis of pcos requires 2 out of 3 of the following: 1: oligoovulation and/or anovulation 2: excess androgen activity 3: polycystic ovaries (by gynecologic ultrasound) so, technically. A diagnosis could be reached without an ultrasound but it would be rather unusual not to get one!
