What test do i take to find out if i have pcos?

There are no: Specific tests for pcos. It's more of a clinical impression of your physician based upon history, exam, lab and all other factors.

See a doctor: You should see a reproductive endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment. Pcos or polycystic ovarian syndrome is the most common cause for irregular periods in women other than pregnancy, affecting up to 10% of women. Maintenance of a healthy weight, diet and exercise are critical to combatting many of the health risks associated with pcos, in addition to standard hormonal therapies.
