Daria Lizneva,Larisa Suturina,Walidah Walker,Soumia Brakta,Larisa Gavrilova-Jordan,Ricardo Azziz +5 more
TL;DR: Although there is a high prevalence of PCOS, there is increased variability when using Rotterdam 2003 criteria, owing to limitations in population sampling and approaches used to define PCOS phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgen excess: Investigations and management
TL;DR: Assessment of biochemical hyperandrogenism is necessary, particularly in patients with unclear or absent hirsutism, and will include assessing total and free testosterone (T), and possibly dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and androstenedione, although these latter contribute limitedly to the diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
