The diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have been grouped in different classifications that have been conflicting for many years. Especially, women with ovarian dysfunction and polycystic ovaries at ultrasound scan, but without hyperandrogenism, were added to the PCOS diagnostic group. The new PCOM guidelines endorse use of endovaginal ultrasound transducers and the threshold for PCOM should be a follicle number per ovary (FNPO) of ≥ 20 on either ovary, and/or an ovarian volume ≥ 10ml. This supersedes the initial Rotterdam criteria of ≥12 follicles and interim recommendations of 24 or 25 follicles per ovary.

Only a few published studies that address the clinical manifestations and phenotypic presentation of the disease have been conducted in Africa, including Sudan. In 2003, a group of experts expanded the diagnostic criteria to include polycystic ovaries seen at ultrasound as a third diagnostic marker and to allow for a diagnosis of PCOS if two of the three criteria were met and the same endocrinopathies were excluded; these are known as the Rotterdam criteria (Rotterdam ESHRE/ASRM-Sponsored PCOS . For the diagnosis of PCOS, we adopted the Rotterdam criteria, and for the diagnosis of MetS, the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP/ATP III).

ABSTRACT. Diagnostic criteria for Rotterdam diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome Two of the following three criteria are required: oligo/anovulation hyperandrogenism clinical (hirsutism or less commonly male pattern alopecia) or biochemical (raised FAI or free testosterone) polycystic ovaries on ultrasound The Rotterdam criteria are the most widely-used tool for diagnosing PCOS. Irregular periods or no periods. According to the Rotterdam criteria, which are widely used for diagnosis, 12 or more small follicles should be seen in an ovary on ultrasound examination. Additionally, PCO is one of the three diagnostic criteria for PCOS, so an ultrasound assessment of PCO should be performed based on the strict standards set forth by the international consensus [4,15]. 50 adult (20-35 years) and 50 adolescent patients (15-19 years) who had features of PCOS (Rotterdam Criteria, 2003) were selected. Both the Rotterdam Criteria and the Androgen Excess PCOS Criteria have polycystic ovaries on ultrasound as one of the "criteria" that can be used in making the diagnosis - but it's not a mandatory criterion.

However, the development of these criteria was based on expert meetings and not on evidence-based treatment guidance. Rotterdam criteria According to the Rotterdam consensus, 1 polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is defined by the presence of two of three of the following criteria: oligo‐anovulation, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries (≥ 12 follicles measuring 2‐9 mm in diameter and/or an ovarian volume > 10 mL in at least one ovary). In the present study . These include a larger pool of individuals than alternative definitions and turn many more women into PCOS patients. 5Currently, the most commonly accepted consensus criteria for diagnosis of PCOS are the "Rotterdam" criteria,6 agreed by ESHRE and ASRM. Other morphological features have been described, but do not contribute to formal diagnostic criteria: Ovarian volume is increased, there are multiple tiny sacs of a typical size with the ovary - so this gives a typical ultrasound appearance of a polycystic ovary. Some women have a scan and polycystic ovaries are confirmed to one or both ovaries, if a scan diagnoses PCO, you must have an additional feature of the Rotterdam criteria to be diagnosed with PCOS. To address 'the issues' (low resolution ultrasound, infertile women in the comparison group, inconsistent AMH assays), this latest study used the Rotterdam criteria to diagnose PCOS in 163 women and confirming the status of ovarian morphology with high resolution ultrasound (applying a threshold of ≥25 follicles per ovary) and serum AMH . The 2018 International Guidelines for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were intended to standardise diagnosis and improve care, but they also endorsed the controversial Rotterdam diagnostic criteria. Doctors use the Rotterdam Criteria to diagnose PCOS. A growing body of research shows that labelling some women with this condition .
