The patients should fulfill the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS or have clinical/biochemical hyperandrogenemia. Routine evaluation include medical history, clinical examination, transvaginal ultrasound (US), and fasting blood samples. Cycle history is recorded in all patients using a standard scheme prepared for hirsute patients. Blood tests include androgens, LH, FSH, prolactin, and lipid profile.
