I didn't know there were different types of pcos. When I was diagnosed my doctor didn't tell me they type she just said I have it. How can I tell what type I have? Or do I need to get rediagnose?
Go to PCOS Diva website and search through her podcasts. There's a really informative one about the 5 different types, and you'll know right away what you are.
1. Type 1 PCOS:
The classic PCOS presentation described above, with ovulatory issues, increased testosterone, and insulin-resistance.
2. Type 2 PCOS:
The non-insulin-resistant PCOS we have already described, with ovulatory issues and increased testosterone levels.
3. Non-Traditional PCOS 1:
Presents with ovulatory issues, normal testosterone levels, obesity and insulin-resistance.
4. Non-Traditional PCOS 2:
Presents with normal ovulatory patterns, increased testosterone levels and mild insulin-resistance.
5. Idiopathic Hirsutism:
Presents with normal ovulatory patterns, increased testosterone levels and no insulin-resistance.
