Best Obgyn In NYC

Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD is a leading NYC Gyn, who has seen a lot of younger women come into his office recently and said they have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) by a physician. They are distraught because they have researched the condition and learned about issues with infertility, insulin resistance and a predilection for diabetes later in life.

How is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) presently diagnosed?

According to The Rotterdam Criteria for the Diagnosis of PCOS, if a woman had two of the following three characteristics, she could be labelled as having PCOS:

1) irregular menses

2) increased androgens (either in their blood or clinical manifestations), and

3) more than twelve follicles in their ovary on ultrasound.
