How Is PCOS Diagnosed?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common hormone disorder that can cause problems with your period, fertility, weight, and skin. It can also put you at risk for other conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. If you have it, the sooner you find out, the earlier you can start treatment.

There’s no single test that can confirm if you have PCOS. Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms, do a physical exam, and run blood tests to find out if you have this condition.
