🔍 Learn the diagnostic criteria – using the Rotterdam criteria: oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound.
💡 Recognize key symptoms – irregular periods, hirsutism, acne, weight gain, and infertility.
🩺 Explore investigation tools – hormone panels, pelvic ultrasound, and ruling out other causes.
💊 Review management strategies – lifestyle modification, metformin, COCP, and fertility support when needed.
