Diagnosis of PCOS
Women having PCOS sometimes don’t show cysts over the ovaries, and in some cases no polycystic ovaries are present. The doctor observes some symptoms and asks about your medical history. To confirm doctor performs various tests to diagnose PCOS, those tests are:
Physical Exam
Doctors do some physical exams like doctor test your pelvic bone, and they also see your reproductive organ from both outer and inside properly. Check the skin patching or hair growth, and acne.
Blood Test
Doctors also run some blood tests to check the levels of androgen and other hormones in the body. The doctor also checks the blood glucose levels, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is used to get a clear picture of the ovaries, it is easy to see if there are any cysts present over the ovaries or not. Ultrasound also helps to see the thickening of the endometrium of the uterus.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a women’s disorder because of the endocrine disorder. As the name suggests, numerous cysts (i.e., fluid accumulated in the sacs) are formed over the ovary. Because of the cyst formation the male hormone i.e., androgen is present in very low amounts but females suffering from PCOS, they formed and secrete androgen in large amounts. Due to the high level of androgen, other female hormones are imbalanced.
