Regular periods don't rule out PCOS, says gynaecologist

Having regular menstrual cycles does not mean a woman is free of polycystic ovary syndrome, gynaecologist Dr Palak Dewaan says. PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition affecting ovulation and androgen levels. Doctors diagnose it using a mix of signs, including excess androgens, ovulation problems, ovarian appearance on scans or high AMH levels, after ruling out other causes.
