I've been doing some research on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) since I've been experiencing some symptoms that seem to match. I'm trying to understand how PCOS is diagnosed in adults. I know it's related to hormonal imbalance, but I'm a bit confused about the exact criteria doctors use to diagnose it.
Can someone explain what tests or clinical signs are typically used to confirm a diagnosis of PCOS in adults? Are there any specific symptoms that are considered more critical than others? Additionally, how do these criteria differ from when diagnosing in teens or younger individuals, if at all?
Any insights from your experiences would be really helpful!
