Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 27 years old and have had a history of PCOS since I was 12 years old. The cyst in my ovaries dissolved long back but now after one year, the size has increased to 0.61 cubic inch and 0.79 cubic inch. Also, I have heavy and thick facial hair and I bleed a lot during intercourse but it does not pain or bleed during the foreplay.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. These days PCOS is very common, especially in the young population. Irregular periods, scanty menses, acne, excessive weight gain, and hirsutism these things are commonly seen in PCOS. Weight and PCOS are correlated to each other, so maintaining your weight within BMI, with regular exercise and diet modification will help you a lot in curing PCOS. Follicular size varies throughout the menstrual cycle. You must have done USG (ultrasonography) scan around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle, that's why that showed increased size. Have you checked your thyroid profile? Right now which medications you are taking? If you are suffering from facing hair, medications should be modified in this case.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
