Polycystic ovary syndrome mainly depends on ultrasound or hormones

There is a certain standard value of eggs in a woman's ovaries. If the patient does not ovulate or the ovulation period is rare, and also has menstrual disorders, it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. There are many ways to medically check for PCOS in women, but is it difficult to detect it through normal B-ultrasound? This makes many women feel confused. What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome in women?

The key to polycystic ovary is ultrasound or growth hormone

Polycystic ovary syndrome requires B-ultrasound and hormone testing. Because polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common and serious endocrine and metabolic abnormality, with chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism as the main characteristics, in clinical diagnosis, in addition to clinical symptoms, it is mainly based on comprehensive diagnosis through ultrasound and hormone testing. There are three specific criteria for diagnosis:

First, infrequent ovulation or anovulation; second, ultrasound shows polycystic ovaries on one or both sides of the uterus and ovaries, more than 12 eggs with a diameter of 2-9mm or a uterine and ovarian volume of more than 10ML; third, clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenism and hyperandrogenuria. If the above three conditions are met and other diseases, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's syndrome, and tumors that metabolize androgens, are present, polycystic ovary syndrome can be diagnosed. Therefore, in clinical medicine, polycystic ovary is mainly diagnosed comprehensively by two indicators, B-ultrasound and growth hormone.

Can a normal B-ultrasound show polycystic syndrome?

The answer is of course yes, and generally a B-ultrasound examination is required for diagnosis. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease in women, caused by endocrine disorders and metabolic abnormalities. This disease can cause abnormalities in women's ovulation period, usually resulting in delayed or absent ovulation, and can also cause an excess of male hormones in women's bodies. In addition to the symptoms of anovulation and high androgen levels, polycystic ovary disease can only be diagnosed through B-ultrasound examination. The main manifestation of ultrasound is polycystic ovary (one or both sides of the uterus and ovaries have more than 12 eggs with a diameter of 2 to 9 mm, and/or the volume of the uterus and ovaries exceeds 10 ml).

What are the clinical symptoms of PCOS?

Menstrual disorders: PCOS can cause ovulation abnormalities, block the normal functions of the uterus and ovaries, and cause the uterine wall to be exposed to high concentrations of estrogen, which causes the endometrium to thicken, resulting in irregular menstruation.

Excessive hair: Polycystic ovary can cause excess androgen in the body. Excessive androgens can cause hirsutism in women. The most common hairy areas are the mouth, lower abdomen and thighs.

Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands: Excessive androgen in the body can make a woman's face oily and red, and the secretion of sebaceous glands on the chest and back is excessive, resulting in oily symptoms. At the same time, the increased secretion of plant oil on the head makes the hair also greasy.

Obesity: Suffering from polycystic ovary causes abnormal metabolism of endogenous growth hormone. The use of growth hormone during treatment will cause obesity in patients.

Infertility: The most fundamental symptom of PCOS is abnormal ovulation of the uterus and ovaries, or even anovulation. This results in the male sperm being unable to find the egg cell to fuse with it to form a sperm-egg combination, thus causing female infertility.

Male characteristics: Excessive male hormones in the body can cause women to develop more masculine characteristics, such as thicker hair, thicker voice, shrinkage of the pancreas and enlarged clitoris. When the body's testosterone levels decrease, there will be certain changes in hair growth and voice.

When a woman is diagnosed with polycystic ovary through B-ultrasound, she must then cooperate with the doctor to conduct other examinations, adjust her mental state in time, keep her mentality in a stable and good state, and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment.
