Detailed Answer:
Hi
Many thanks for reverting back, and appreciating the previous answer.
Let me answer your query one by one.
1] About urine test.
Thanks for mentioning timing of the test and your habit of water intake.
With the intake of fluids throughout the day, the urine gets diluted.
I usually suggest to get morning’s first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. At that time urine is undiluted and test results are more reliable.
BY THE WAY it is one of the best healthy habits to drink plenty of water in a day.
2] About PCOS.
it is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome.
It has little bit of genetic component, but in most of the cases it has a modern lifestyle as a cause.
USG or Ct scan reports show multiple, small follicles at the periphery of ovary.
This hampers with ovualtion and hormone production of ovary. And eventually disturbs the internal milieu.
Irrespective of your interest in getting pregnancy, the condition of PCOS needs attention.
Changes in the lifestyle is key in the treatment.
I usually suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.Avoid substance abuse, if any.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
