Misnaming of PCOS

Dre. Karen Desrosiers

Just to specify that your ovaries are not full of big cysts on the outside. It’s a bit of a misnomer. So it shouldn’t be called polycystic ovary syndrome. It’s really micro-follicular because what happens is all those little follicles that didn’t grow up to maturation and ovulation that we see under the surface of the ovaries. And there may be five millimeters but never more than nine millimeters. So, it’s not a cyst by itself that we see outside the ovaries.
