Brief Answer:
Possible hypothyroidism?Need evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I understand your concern.

I have gone through your query in detail.

Since you have PCOS, the possibility of thyroid disorder is high in your case.

These symptoms largely represent hypothyroidism and not Leukaemia.

This needs an immediate evaluation.

For this, I advise you to get a Complete thyroid profile.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
