This is a symptom screener, not a diagnosis. PCOS is diagnosed by a doctor using your cycle history, an examination, blood tests and an ultrasound — not a checklist. If several features apply, consider seeing a gynaecologist. Calculated on your device; nothing is saved unless you choose to.

Understanding PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that can affect periods, skin and hair, weight and fertility. Its features vary a lot from person to person, which is why a single symptom rarely tells the whole story — and why it's diagnosed by looking at several things together, not a quiz.

Using this checker

Tick the features you've noticed over the last several months. The more that apply — especially across different areas like cycles, skin/hair and metabolism — the more it's worth a proper check. If you're trying to conceive, our ovulation calculator and period tracker can help you and your doctor spot patterns.

FAQs

How is PCOS diagnosed?
PCOS is diagnosed by a doctor, not a checklist. Clinicians commonly look for at least two of three things: irregular or absent ovulation, signs of raised androgens (such as excess hair or acne, or a blood test), and polycystic ovaries on an ultrasound — after ruling out other causes. This tool only flags whether it's worth getting checked.
Can I have PCOS with regular periods?
Yes, though irregular cycles are one of the most common signs. Some people have other features — such as excess hair, acne or difficulty losing weight — with fairly regular periods. If several features apply to you, it's still worth mentioning to a doctor.
What should I do if I have many features?
See a gynaecologist. They may suggest blood tests and an ultrasound to confirm, and can help with management — which often includes lifestyle steps, and sometimes medication, tailored to your goals (for example cycle regulation or fertility).
