Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
We got married 9 years back. My wife has the problem of PCOD. We consulted many doctors and tired for IUI and IVF, but no positive result found. Actually, my wife's menstrual cycle was fine before and after marriage. After our first anniversary, we consulted a doctor for baby. The doctor said that my wife has a hormonal problem. But, when we consulted another doctor, he denied hormonal problem after seeing her blood test and suggested D and C. We followed as he suggested and tried for next one year. But, my wife did not get pregnant. It was observed that my wife's menstrual cycle got disturbed once in a year and she suffered with heavy bleeding for 8 to 10 days. Follicular study was checked by the doctor and it was fine. So, we went for IUI and IVF, but no positive result found. Now, for the last 2 to 2.5 years, her menstrual cycle has got disturbed. Her period is not regular. It comes irregularly with initial spotting and heavy bleeding with clots and many times we need to go to the doctor to stop bleeding. Also, she is getting tired of doing exercise and climbing steps with breathing problems. After checking, the doctors found that she is having a thyroid problem and her hemoglobin is also reduced. I have attached the various reports. I am very much confused. Kindly suggest me the correct treatment. Actually, at this stage I am less bothering about baby. I want my wife to be healthy.

Thank you doctor,
I am attaching the test reports of the last 8 years. For the last 1.5 years, her period comes once in two to three months. She is having heavy bleeding along with clots for 25 to 30 days or more and finally she have to take medicine to stop it. I want to treat this problem first and the baby issue is secondary for me.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
After reviewing all the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it appears that besides some polyps in her uterus, which were successfully removed by your doctor, there are no significant abnormalities. My recommendation for her is to discontinue Ecosprin (Aspirin) as it poses a risk of bleeding. I advise consulting her doctor to start oral contraceptive pills for two to three months, which will suppress her monthly cycle and reduce excessive bleeding. Once her condition improves completely, after two to three months, you can consider planning for a baby. The polyps removed have been sent for a TB PCR test (tuberculosis polymerase chain reaction), but the results are still pending.

Thank you doctor,
I am sending the TB PCR report. I think it is negative. Presently, she is not taking any medicine.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. I have reviewed the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and it indicates a negative result. At this point, I recommend contacting a physician for your wife's current health concerns. Once her general condition improves, you can consider consulting an endocrinologist for further evaluation and specialized care, if necessary.
