Diagnosing PCOS can be difficult because the symptoms are so varied.

The most common manifestations are hirsutism, infertility, insulin resistance, and menstrual irregularities. Physicians can diagnose PCOS when other causes of symptoms or lab abnormalities are not included. It is recommended to screen women with PCOS for other disorders, such as hyperlipidemia, and to then treat accordingly.
