Understanding and Utilizing the DUTCH Test for PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in females with various genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences. The Rotterdam Criteria, involving oligo/amenorrhea, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries, is used for PCOS diagnosis. The DUTCH Complete test can assess insulin, inflammation, and adrenal functions related to PCOS. Long-term sequelae like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes should be monitored. This article explores the Rotterdam Criteria, PCOS sub-categories, common symptoms, and provides quick facts about PCOS.

How to use the DUTCH Test for PCOS Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH/Rupa Health 2022 1
Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOS) Objectives: 1.The specifics of the Rotterdam Criteria and the Phenotypes 2.The 4 sub-categories of PCOS 3.Common symptoms of PCOS at-large 4.How to use the DUTCH Complete to evaluate Insulin, inflammatory, and adrenal PCOS Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH/Rupa Health 2022 2
Quick PCOS Facts: 1.Number 1 endocrine disorder in females 2.It s a major reason for oligomenorrhea and fertility challenges 3.There are genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors at play 4.Long term sequelae such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes must routinely be evaluated especially with hyperandrogenism 5.It is most commonly diagnosed by the Rotterdam Criteria Ajmal N, Khan SZ, Shaikh R.

What is the Rotterdam Criteria? Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH/Rupa Health 2022 4
Rotterdam Criteria: Must be 2 out of 3 to be considered PCOS 1.Oligo or amenorrhea 2.Hyperandrogenism androgen labs and androgen symptoms 3.Polycystic ovaries seen on ultrasound Ajmal N, Khan SZ, Shaikh R.

Rotterdam Criteria: Must be 2 out of 3 to be considered PCOS 1.Oligo or amenorrhea 2.Hyperandrogenism androgen labs and androgen symptoms 3.Polycystic ovaries Cysts on ovaries are VERY common While PCOS cysts are distinctive, many women have been told they have PCOS based on an ultrasound with cysts that should not qualify Ajmal N, Khan SZ, Shaikh R.

The proposed pathophysiology of PCOS is a synergistic relationship between perturbed gonadotrophin releasing hormones (GnRH) pulsatility and hyperandrogenism probably accompanied by hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH/Rupa Health 2022 20
Glucocorticoids can also disrupt GnRH to disrupt the pulsatile nature of FSH and/or LH from the pituitary Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH/Rupa Health 2022 23
