    Physical exams, pelvic exams, blood tests, and ultrasounds are used to diagnose PCOS. Doctors check blood pressure, BMI, hormone levels, and examine the skin, reproductive organs, and ovaries using ultrasounds to look for signs of excess hair growth, acne, ovarian cysts, and abnormal hormone levels which can indicate PCOS.

    DIAGNOSTIC TEST:

    ● Physical exam- Your doctor may check your blood pressure, BMI (body mass
    index), and waist size. They may also look at your skin to check for extra hair
    growth, acne, and discolored skin, which can all happen if you have PCOS.
    ● Pelvic exam- To check the reproductive organs for masses, growths or other
    changes.
    ● Blood tests- Blood tests can measure hormone levels. This testing can exclude
    possible causes of menstrual problems or androgen excess that mimic PCOS.
    ● Ultrasound- An ultrasound can check the appearance of ovaries and the
    thickness of the lining of the uterus. A wandlike device (transducer) is placed in
    the vagina. The transducer emits sound waves that are translated into images on
    a computer screen.
    ➢ more than 20 follicles (partly developed eggs) are visible on one or both
    ovaries
    ➢ the size of one or both ovaries is increased (more than 10ml).
