[quote=Anonymous]OP, too much testosterone basically equals PCOS, unless it is high and some others are off, which would cause the doctor to look for other things. The diagnosis of PCOS, despite its name, does not require a finding of cystic ovaries (the string of pearls on can see on U/S). In fact, many doctors will not do the U/S unless the testosterone level is high enough to be indicative of a possible androgen secreting tumor (most of which are benign). You can have PCOS even without a hugely elevated testosterone level, but in most cases it will be elevated. Treatment is usually BCP and/or spiralolactone. For all those posters claiming that overweight causes excess hair, please consider that PCOS, the most common cause of excess hair, causes many women to be overweight.[/quote]
