How to detect polycystic ovaries

  Polycystic ovaries is a common obstetrical and gynecological disease that has become a problem for women and affects family happiness and harmony because it can cause menstrual irregularities and infertility in women.  In general, patients may choose to visit their local hospital after experiencing symptoms of polycystic ovaries. These symptoms include: menopause, increased body hair, significant weight gain in a short period of time, etc. After the visit, the doctor will perform some laboratory tests and examinations. The tests include the sex hormone 6 test, which reflects the level of estrogen, progesterone, androgen and other hormones in the patient’s body, thus helping to find the exact cause of the disease. The results of the sex hormone 6 test can directly reflect the abnormal hormone status of a woman’s body. In addition, gynecologic ultrasound is also needed to clarify the status of the patient’s ovaries bilaterally, and in general, in patients with polycystic ovaries, the ultrasound will indicate polycystic-like changes in the ovaries bilaterally. Usually, the 6 sex hormones combined with ultrasonography can diagnose polycystic ovaries in patients.  As mentioned above, patients with polycystic ovaries are usually diagnosed with sex hormone 6 tests and gynecologic ultrasound examinations after the onset of symptoms.
