Do You Have PCOS? - A Self Test

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by multiple, small ovarian cysts, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, insulin resistance, and hirsutism (elevated levels of male hormones). The ovarian cysts may not produce any definite symptoms, and may come and go, so they may not show on ultrasound when a test is done. It can be difficult to prove the presence of this disorder. In view of the combined cluster of problems you are experiencing (weight gain, glucose intolerance and almost certain insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, high blood pressure), it may be reasonable to make treatment recommendations based on what would be appropriate for PCOS.
