Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

According to reports you have bilateral polycystic ovarian disease(PCOD).It is suggested by enlarged both ovaries and multiple small peripherally arranged follicles.
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.
You also have mild hepatomegaly with fatty liver.Fatty liver is a reversible stage and it is due to deposition of fat within the liver cells.It can be reversed by diet and life style changes.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should take limited salt in your diet.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.You should also increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.

Get well soon.
Take Care
