  • To be diagnosed women should have two of the following three symptoms: irregular and infrequent periods (eight or fewer per year), high levels of androgens (male hormones like testosterone), and immature follicles-often referred to as cysts-on their ovaries, which can be seen in an ultrasound. (nationalgeographic.com)
  • These sacs are actually follicles, each one containing an immature egg. (healthline.com)
