Brief Answer:
PCOD could be the reason for your problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Your attached report is asking for password,so I could not open it.

Primarily: all the blood reports mentioned by you are normal.

Ultrasound is suggestive of PCOD which is expected to be the reason for your irregularity in periods.

Most women with PCOD grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances.

The cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but genetics may be a factor.

As per need your doctor will give you medications for this,which will help in regularizing your periods.

Apart from medicines lifestyle changes play a very important role here.

If you are overweight-lose weight
Do regular exercise
Have more fruits and salads in your diet

Please keep regular follow up with your doctor and things should be under control.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh

Brief Answer:
Reports reviewed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Good to hear from you again.

I have reviewed your reports and they are normal.

Yes,PCOS can affect fertility.

PCOS needs comprehensive approach as advised earlier like medicines,lifestyle changes etc.

The medicines that you have taken are for regularizing your periods,not used for treating PCOS.

Please visit your regular gynecologist without frequent changing of doctor,stick to one doctor and take his advice,continuation of treatment is important.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
