Hi,
The characteristic diagnostic finding on vaginal ultrasound in PCOD is enlarged ovaries containing multiple follicles. Though it is usually associated with symptoms like irregular periods, obesity and hirsutism, it can also present without these symptoms. Hormonal assay always shows a reversal of LH:FSH ratio, increased DHEAS levels in the body and sometimes raised insulin levels. It is the commonest cause of hormonal infertility and treatment likewise is many fold and quite effective. Please consult your doctor for further information. Good luck.
