Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You might be having Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which is a chronic anovulation syndrome leading to irregular menstrual cycles. Ultrasound findings alone are not specific, and the diagnosis is made on the combined clinical, biochemical and ultrasound.This is a hormone related condition commonly seen in young girls. The multiple anechoic cyst and central cortex are findings associated with PCOS.
Please consult a gynecologist and take medications for a few months. It is completely treatable.
