What does polycystic changes in the right ovary mean?

When women have their bodies checked by B-ultrasound or color ultrasound, they will find some problems in their bodies. Some women's examination results will show polycystic changes in the right ovary. This symptom will cause female patients to have menstrual disorders and amenorrhea. In severe cases, it can also lead to excessive male hormones in the body, causing the ovaries to enlarge. So what does polycystic changes in the right ovary mean?

First, what does polycystic changes in the right ovary mean? The symptoms of polycystic ovary changes mainly include menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea. Many patients with the disease will also have excessively high androgen levels and increased prolactin levels. The patient's ovaries will be enlarged, and multiple small follicles will appear. Even if ovulation is induced, ovulation disorders or luteinized cysts and thick ovarian walls may occur. It has a certain relationship with pancreatic islet antagonism. Immune substances may appear around the patient's ovaries, affecting the maturation or discharge of follicles.

Second, some PCOS patients are insensitive to insulin, so their bodies produce more insulin. Approximately 30%-70% of patients have elevated insulin levels, which in turn stimulates the ovaries to synthesize more androgens, further inhibiting ovulation.

What does polycystic changes in the right ovary mean? The pathological mechanism is mainly due to endocrine disorders that cause the ovaries to not ovulate for a long time. Due to the absence of ovulation, the level of luteinizing hormone increases, while the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (whose main function is to promote the growth and development of follicles) is relatively low. Due to the influence of high luteinizing hormone, androgen is 50%-150% higher than normal, androgen will further inhibit ovulation; anovulation also leads to a lack of cyclical progesterone secretion. This hormone secretion disorder further causes increased luteinizing hormone secretion, which in turn causes menstrual changes and obstructed follicle development, forming an interconnected "vicious circle." Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disease that occurs frequently in women of childbearing age. This disease is very harmful to women's health and can cause female infertility in severe cases. Therefore, female friends who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome should pay attention to it.
