Need advice on getting tested for PCOS without ruling out other possibilities

How do I get a new doctor to test me for PCOS without ruling out anything that they could consider as well? So stressed just thinking about seeing a gp tomorrow. I'm not going on birth control, so I don't even know what they'll suggest

They can figure it out from a simple blood test. They just need to be looking. Thats how my doctor picked mine up. Id been complaining of pain for a while but my pregnancy a couple of years ago "flushed me out" so it only just showed up recently. Definitely say "hey im worried i have pcos could we do a blood test to see if i have any indicators?" Then go from there
