yes they can be connected. pcos can cause a rise in testoterone in women, which is why some pcos patients have male secondary hormone issues, such as male pattern balding and facial hair. to be correctly diagnosed though they need to do the trasvaginal ultrasound to look at your ovaries and see if there is the traditional string a pearl appearance of small cysts surrounding the ovaries. although some women, not many have pcos but do not have this string of pearls. another test your dr might run will be a glucose tolerance test, since insulin resistance and pcos tend to run hand in hand.
