Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine condition affecting women of all ages. PCOS is typically diagnosed based on the Rotterdam criteria, which include polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM), hyperandrogenism, and oligo/anovulation.1

Diagnosing is challenging due to the heterogeneity of PCOS symptoms and its similarity to other clinical conditions.2,3 66% of women affected by PCOS remain undiagnosed.4 International guidelines state serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) could be used for defining PCOM in adults to aid in the diagnosis of PCOS.1
