What Does "peripherally Follicles Located Bilaterally" Mean?
Question: Hello. My ultrasound showed Peripherally Follicles located bilaterally. No free fluid in cul de sac. Uterus Demonstrates 4 mm Endometirum.
I am not sure what this means. I was surprised as I get monthly periods that last 3-4 days and my cycle is between 28 and 35 days.
Thanks XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
It is mostly normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
It is mostly normal as no free fluid and ET = 4 mm are normal.
The peripheral bilateral follicles can be a sign of early mild PCOD but not necessarily so.
Normally PCOD should have more than 12 follicles in each ovary of at least 2-9 mm each.
What do you mean by estrogen dominance ? Do you have reports of your estrogen levels.
If you are asymptomatic with regular periods there is nothing to worry about as of now.
Feel free to consult me directly

Hello
In regards to estrogen dominance I have had test done to show I have very high estrogen and extremely low progesterone. I also have had elevated prolactin levels ranging from 29 to 46. I have had a 60lb weight gain that dieting and exercise have not fixed. My fasting glucose and insulin are normal. I do have acne but it is mostly on my back. My thyroid is normal. I show a slight iodine deficiency as well. My coristol was high at 729 nmol/l for am and 327 nmol/l pm. I am also severly vitamin d deficient of 16 nmol/l
all these combined is PCOD a possibility?

Brief Answer:
Sounds more like a hyperprolactinemia
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX ,
It sounds less like PCOD but more like a hyperprolactinemia ( due to a prolactin tumor).
A prolacitin tumor produces high prolactin, high cortisol, can cause acne due to that, and can cause weight gain. It can also cause estrogen dominance.
I will suggest that you get an MRI of the prolactin gland to see if something is wrong.
Follow up with the reports to me.
