Who diagnose pcos?

My periods have been very irregular lately, and I'm worried it might be PCOS. Who is the right doctor to see for a diagnosis, a general physician or a gynaecologist?

PCOS is diagnosed by a gynaecologist or an endocrinologist. Please don't ignore any symptoms like irregular periods or excessive hair growth, like I did once. It's so important to get it checked early for proper management and to prevent complications down the line. Go for that checkup!

For PCOS diagnosis, you'll typically see a gynaecologist or an endocrinologist! They're the specialists who can really understand what's going on. They do blood tests and scans. Don't worry, they'll guide you through it! ✨

PCOS is typically diagnosed by a gynaecologist or an endocrinologist. They'll usually look at your medical history, perform a physical exam, and order blood tests (for hormones) and an ultrasound to check your ovaries. It's a clinical diagnosis based on a set of criteria. Make sure to consult one.

Haan, PCOS diagnose karne ke liye toh gynaecologist ke paas hi jaana padega. Ya phir koi endocrinologist. Woh proper tests karte hain, hormones check karte hain, ultrasound bhi. Tab jaake confirm hota hai. Khud se guess mat karna, na.

For PCOS diagnosis, you should consult a gynaecologist or an endocrinologist. They use a combination of criteria, including irregular periods, hormonal tests, and ultrasound findings. It's a thorough process, so schedule an appointment rather than self-diagnosing.
