No.: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion. In other words , other causes or late or irregular periods and hairiness must be checked out first. If those causes are ruled out, then that patient has pcos.

Clinical diagnosis: Pcos is defined by irregular periods and increase in male hormone. Increased weight goes along with pcos since many patients have associated Insulin resistance. There are some blood tests that can confirm the diagnosis. See your doctor for a complete diagnosis and proper treatment. It is easier to conceive if you have kept your symptoms under control.

Possibly: The original syndrome as described has been modified to include many forms including the presenting features. Also helpful to make the diagnosis would be family history and an lh/fsh of about 3/1 with sonographic evidence of polycyclic ovaries. Treatment for those not wanting to conceive include bcp's, depilatories and weight loss; for those wanting to conceive try Clomid (clomiphene) initially.
