Brief Answer:
ultrasound finding of PCOS

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

I think this must be an ultrasonography finding.

I will explain you what does this mean.

The ovaries of women contain multiple ovarian follicles that each contains an egg.

All women have these follicles in their ovaries and each month a group of follicles start to develop, with one going on to be the dominant follicle that ovulates the egg.

The ovaries of women with polycystic ovaries may contain many small follicles that do not go on to ovulate an egg each month.

These follicles fail to develop normally because of the hormonal imbalances in polysyctic ovarian syndrome and are seen in ultrasound.

Do you have symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain and problems related to fertility?

Symptomatic treatment like weight reducing exercises, ointment for acne and drugs like insulin are used for treatment.

Kindly consult your gynecologist and discuss this.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
chances of problem in conceiving.

Detailed Answer:
You are welcome.
Sorry for the delayed response.

PCOS has variable presentation in different individuals.

Yes, there are chances that it can cause problem in conceiving.

The common tests which are to be carried out in suspected PCOS (which I would recommend for you) are:
Thyroid function tests.
LH, FSH levels.
Serum prolactin level.
Total and free testosterone levels.
Blood sugar levels.

Kindly go for these tests.
Do keep a regular follow-up with your gynecologist.

Hope this helps.

All the best for your wedding preparations.

Thanks.
