The careful examination of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) first requires careful observation of the patient's daily manifestations, such as irregular menstruation. The second step is to perform a color Doppler ultrasound examination to verify whether the ovaries exhibit polycystic changes. The third step is to conduct a sex hormone panel test.
