A diagnosis of PCOS is typically based on meeting at least 2 of the following 3 criteria: (1) anovulation or oligo-ovulation (indicated by a lack of or infrequent menses), (2) androgen excess, and (3) small cyst-like growths on at least one of the ovaries, with other potential causes of these factors (e.g., Cushing’s syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinemia) being ruled out.[1][2]
