Patient's question:
Married for 5 years without pregnancy, irregular periods, always delayed, usually 60 days or so, this time 3 months haven't come, used to be more, 3-5 days, now very little, usually clean up in 3 daysDoctor's answer:
The diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) include meeting at least 2 of the following 3 items:1. Oligo-ovulation or anovulation, meaning infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea;
2. Elevated androgens or symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism or acne;
3. Polycystic ovaries, meaning the presence of multiple small follicles.
Each of these items has a clear definition and requires medical judgment, such as what constitutes infrequent menstruation (e.g., cycle duration) and how many follicles in the ovaries qualify as polycystic. Additionally, other causes of hyperandrogenism and menstrual disorders must be ruled out. Therefore, it is best to seek a definitive diagnosis at a formal hospital.
