a) Low FSH is a symptom of PCOS (not necessarily PCO).

b) Polycystic ovaries can be a sign of PCOS. They are the defining sign for PCO.

c) Not really sure how this fits into the question.

PCO (poly-cystic ovaries) occur in many women. About 25% of women will have signs of PCO at sometime in their lives. Usually this does not cause serious problems.

PCOS is an endocrine disorder which is genetic. You can find more information at http://www.pcosupport.org . There you will find a quiz that will help you determine how likely you are to have PCOS. It will give you good information and allow you to be better prepared for your next doctor visit.
