Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, diagnosed by the doctor as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with normal hormone levels. On the day before menstruation, I took an anti-Müllerian hormone test, so is it certain that I definitely have PCOS?Doctor's answer:
The diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing bilateral ovaries with more than 12 follicles of not more than 1 cm in diameter, hyperandrogenism (hirsutism, acne), and anovulation (clinically, patients often exhibit menstrual disorders). Important reference indicators include an elevated LH/FSH ratio. Some patients may have insulin resistance, or mild prolactin (PRL) decline. The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test you have now is an indicator reflecting ovarian reserve function. Currently, this value indicates that your ovarian function should be quite good.
