PCOS
Ovarian and adrenal vein
sampling
• Combined ovarian and adrenal vein sampling
• High serum testosterone concentrations
(testosterone >150 ng/dL /L]) and normal pelvic
ultrasonography and adrenal imaging
• In this setting, the ovary is likely to be the
source of androgen hypersecretion
• Adrenal tumors are almost always visualized on
adrenal CT, while ovarian tumors are often too
small to be seen on imaging studies
A series of seven cases has been
reported in which amenorrhea was
associated with the presence of
bilateral polycystic ovaries

polycystic ovaries. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1935;29:181-191

• PCO 50-75
• Obesity 40-60
• Amenorrhea 25-50
• Acnea 25
• DUB 30

PCOS Diagnostic Criteria
(Rotterdam, 2003)
1. Oligo-anovulation
2. Clinical hyperandrogenism and/or
hyperandrojenemia
3. Polycystic ovaries (PCO)
(2 out of 3 criteria is necessary for the Dx)
• Other androgen excess disorders should be
discarded

• Least risk of multiple pregnancy
• Disadvantages
• Requires LS

Bayram N, BMJ, 2004
• LOD
• Lack of monitorization and singleton pregnancy but needs
appropriate surgery
• Proper for lean women with hyperandrogenemia

Clinical Hyperandrogenism
• Hirsutism
• Acnea
• Alopecia
• Oligoamenorrhea
• Virilization
• Abdominal obesity
• Acanthosis nigricans
Hirsutism
Definition
• Excessive facial and body hair caused by excess
androgen production
• Terminal hair growth in androgen-dependent sites
(abdomen, face, chest, inner thighs)
• 5-10% of population
• Virilism
• Adrenal hyperplasia and androgen-producing tumor
• Ovarian tumor
• Hyperthecosis
• Clitoromegaly
• Deepening of the voice
• Balding
• Changes in body habitus
Types of hair
Lanugo Vellus Terminal
• Covers the fetus
• Lightly pigmented
• Thin in diameter,
short in length
• Fragile in
attachment
• Downy,
unpigmented
hair
• Prepubertal
years
• Coarse,
pigmented
hair
• Adult years
Hirsutism: Vellus to terminal hair transformation and growth in
androgen-dependent sites
• Total endowment of hair follicles is made by 22
weeks gestation
• Total concentration of hair follicles per unit
area
• No difference between sexes
• May differ between ethnic groups and races:
White > Asian;
Mediterranean > Nordic
Structure and Growth
• Anagen: the growing phase: 4 months
• Catagen: rapid involution phase, transitional phase: 3-4
weeks
• Telogen: quiscent phase, resting phase: 3-4 months
• Androgens: Increase anagen phase; increase hair
diameter; increase hair follicle size, shorter anagen in scalp
hair
• Scalp hair: Longer anagen, catagen: 2-5 years, relatively
short resting phase
• Forearm: Short anagen and long telogen
• Stable nongrowing length
• The appearance of continues growth
• The degree to which individual hair follicles act asynchronously with their
neighbours

There are two conditions characterized by

• Cushing’s syndrome
• Pituitary disorders
Hyperprolactinemia
Acromegaly
• Y-containing mosaics and

• Hyperthecosis
• Increased production of
testosterone by luteinized
thecal cells in the stroma
• Ovarian tumors
• Adrenal tumors
• Drugs
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
• Classical
• Nonclassic (late-onset)
• Peripubertal hirsutism
• Sometimes menstrual irregularity or primary amenorrhea
• No manifestations of cortisol deficiency
• Prevalence: 1 to 15 percent
• 21-hydroxylase: Autosomal recessive
• 11β-hydroxylase
• 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
• It is nearly always due to 21-hydroxylase (P450c21)

• DHEA-S>700-800 μg/dl
• Usually cortisole is also secreted

History
• Age of onset
• NCCAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and idiopathic hirsutism-
similar age of symptom onset
• Androgen-secreting tumors or ovarian hyperthecosis
• Third decade of life or later
• Both diagnoses are most common after menopause
• Stable versus progressive hair growth
• NCCAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and idiopathic hirsutism-
similar presentation.
• Androgen-secreting tumors
• Recent onset, short duration (typically less than one year), or rapidly
progressive hirsutism
• Hyperthecosis: Severe hirsutism, postmenopausal, more gradual
compared to tumors
Physical examination
• Ferriman-Gallwey scoring
• Poor interobserver agreement
• Evidence of virilization
• Findings include deepening of the voice, temporal and/or crown
balding, increased muscle mass, and clitoromegaly
• Clitoral enlargement is typically determined on the basis of
clitoral length or the clitoral index (length times width): length
>10 mm or an index >35 mm2 is considered above normal
• Other important findings
• Other skin findings: Acne, seborrhea, acanthosis nigricans, striae
• Body mass index
• Abdominal and pelvic exam

Waist / Hip ratio < 0.85
Evaluation
• For Mediterranean, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern
women, FG score ≥ 9-10 is considered abnormal
whereas for Asian women ≥2
• Scores between 8 and 15 are usually considered to
be mild hirsutism, 16 to 25 moderate, and scores
>25 severe hirsutism

Assesment of Insulin secretion
• 2-hour 75 mg glucose tolerance test
• Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
• Impaired: 140-199 mg/dL
• Noninsulin-dependent diabetes: 200 mg/dL and
higher
Pelvic ultrasonography
• Large cysts, solid masses, and complex cysts that
do not resolve spontaneously in two to four weeks
• Small hilus-cell tumors
• May not be seen by ultrasonography
• Sex cord stromal tumors, are often not visualized
• May not be seen by ultrasonography
• MRI, PET
Adrenal imaging
• Markedly elevated serum testosterone and
pelvic ultrasound is negative
• A serum DHEA-S concentration >700 mcg/dL
• Adrenal CT is the imaging test of choice

  • 72. Physical examination • Ferriman-Gallwey scoring • Poor interobserver agreement • Evidence of virilization • Findings include deepening of the voice, temporal and/or crown balding, increased muscle mass, and clitoromegaly • Clitoral enlargement is typically determined on the basis of clitoral length or the clitoral index (length times width): length >10 mm or an index >35 mm2 is considered above normal • Other important findings • Other skin findings: Acne, seborrhea, acanthosis nigricans, striae • Body mass index • Abdominal and pelvic exam OBESITY android obesity gynecoid obesity Waist / Hip ratio < 0.85
