The association was so strong in an age-matched control study of 58 women with polycystic ovary syndrome and 106 healthy controls that Dr. Gaertner of the University of Munich recommended routine thyroid function testing for women with PCOS.
The women in the study were defined as having PCOS based on an LH/FSH ratio in excess of 2, elevated plasma testosterone, oligomenorrhea, hypertichosis, and, in most patients, ultrasound evidence of polycystic ovaries.
