Possibility of Polycystic ovaries to be considered,requires ultrasound scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in details.
If the clinical assistant has mentioned cysts then there is a possibility that they are referring to Polycystic ovaries. Poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a treatable condition. It happens due to imbalance of hormones and can present as increase in body weight, increased body hair and irregular or absent monthly periods.
Treatment of Polycystic ovaries is by taking birth control pills for few months under doctors guidance. I assume your hormones are within the normal range as nothing abnormal has been written by you.
It is also important to know what are the tests done for you and the results before your condition can be confirmed. Polycystic ovaries is a condition that shows up on a pelvis ultrasound scan in almost half of those who have this condition. If you have not got a pelvic ultrasound scan done then I suggest you get it done and this will help in understanding your condition better. Any other condition will also be known.
Stress related anxiety or taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently can also delay periods by a months. Please try to be stress free and keep your mind relaxed and avoid frequent use of emergency pills if you have done it.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
