Hello
Polycystic ovarian disease(PCOD) may cause infertility.
PCOD has typical appearance in USG and it is indicated by increase ovarian size,hyperechoic stroma and necklace appearance of cysts(anechoic in appearance) arranged in periphery.
PCOD should be confirmed by clinical correlation and biochemical markers like hormonal assay for PCOD.
PCOD is a curable disease and mostly it is treated by medicines.Surgical intervention is required in very few cases.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take Care
