Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

In Polycystic ovarian disease the Ovaries

1. may show sonographic features of polycystic ovaries
bilateral enlarged ovaries with multiple small follicles : 50%

increased ovarian size (> 10 cc)
12 or more follicles measuring 2 - 9 mm
follicles of similar size
peripheral location of follicles : which can give a string of pearl appearance
hyperechoic central stroma
the ovarian outline may be slightly irregular ref

2. hypo-echoic ovary without individual cysts : 25%

3. normal ovaries : 25%

Therefore you need to check for clinical symptoms like
Presence of hyperandrogenism (clinical and/or biochemical)
Ovarian dysfunction (oligo-anovulation and/or polycystic ovaries)
Exclusion of related disorders​

The condition is treatable with medications.
