Review demonstrates the validity of expanded Rotterdam criteria in polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting the need to recognize broad phenotypic heterogeneity across women.

Key Points

Review and justify the diagnostic rationale behind the 2003 ESHRE/ASRM Rotterdam consensus criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome.
Reviewed clinical, familial, and biochemical evidence supporting the 2003 ESHRE/ASRM Rotterdam consensus definitions.
Compared diagnostic spectrums and phenotypic classifications between the 1990 NIH definition and the 2003 Rotterdam framework.
The Rotterdam criteria refine PCOS diagnosis by incorporating polycystic ovarian morphology and including women presenting with hyperandrogenism alongside regular menses.
The inclusion of women exhibiting oligomenorrhea and polycystic ovaries without overt androgen excess is supported by etiological heterogeneity, though it remains an area of ongoing debate.
