How is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome diagnosed?
See how Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is diagnosed. Which specialists are essential to meet, what tests are needed and other useful information for the diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
I don't think PCOS is the first thing that comes to mind when you are wondering what is wrong. I think that goes for the dr too. It's a good idea to get bloods done and an ultrasound. Bloods will look at your hormone levels and an ultrasound will be able to determine if you do have cysts on ovaries.

This is hard to diagnose. There is no right way because it is so hard to find active cysts on the ovaries. Most doctors will get an ultrasound and look to see how many follicles are on the ovaries. They will also ask multiple questions like if you have other symptoms as well. This is hard to diagnose because there are some symptoms that some people will have with this disorder and others will not have those but other symptoms. Mainly, if someone were to have at least seven of the multiple symptoms, they would be diagnosed with PCOS.

There's no test to definitively diagnose PCOS. Your doctor is likely to start with a discussion of your medical history, including your menstrual periods and weight changes. A physical exam will include checking for signs of excess hair growth, insulin resistance and acne.
Your doctor might then recommend:
A pelvic exam. The doctor visually and manually inspects your reproductive organs for masses, growths or other abnormalities.
Blood tests. Your blood may be analyzed to measure hormone levels. This testing can exclude possible causes of menstrual abnormalities or androgen excess that mimics PCOS. You might have additional blood testing to measure glucose tolerance and fasting cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
An ultrasound. Your doctor checks the appearance of your ovaries and the thickness of the lining of your uterus. A wandlike device (transducer) is placed in your vagina (transvaginal ultrasound). The transducer emits sound waves that are translated into images on a computer screen.
The diagnostic criteria for PCOS states that a women has PCOS if she has at least 2 of the following 3 criteria: a. Irregular or absent periods, b. blood tests or physical signs that show high androgens, c. Polycystic ovaries.

In an effort to improve the definition and to diagnose PCOS, the European Society for Human Reproduction and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine came to a common agreement in order to diagnose PCOS. The criterion is based on the following, a woman must present two of these three factors:
– Ovarian dysfunction with lack of ovulation or ovulation rare
– High levels of androgens including DHEA, testosterone and/or androstenedione
– Polycystic ovaries (diagnosed by ultrasound)
