What does an ultrasound search for when looking for things like PCOS?

Question

I'm having an ultrasound today, and PCOS was suspected. What does it look for exactly?

Answer

You can actually have PCOS without any ovarian cysts. I have PCOS and have literally never had one. They will likely do blood work as well, but on the ultrasound they are looking at your ovaries.

Answer

She looked at both my ovaries and 1. Confirmed that I had just indeed ovulated on my own and 2. Noticed too many large follicles that is abnormal I guess. The ultrasound plus my history of irregular periods gave the confirmation of pcos for me.
