PCOSFrom: Leslie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 21 May 2003 03:28:13 -0500 (CDT)
i am 24 and have been diagnosed with pcos by my gynecologist through transvaginal ultrasound only. the ultrasound showed multiple cysts on my right ovary. my gynecologist did not ask me to have hormone tests or a GTT. i do not have most of the symptoms indicative of pcos (acne, hirsutism, high blood pressure, etc). my periods occur regularly and last 7 days. the first day is light then the next 3 days are very heavy (pad change every 3 hours except early morning or late at night in which my period is moderate) but become lighter the days thereafter. i also have moderate to severe cramps during my menstruation. i used tampons before which caused my bleeding to become heavier. i have since then stopped using them. for about 4 years i have had brown blood spotting in between my periods. my left ovary was removed about a year ago due to a dermoid cyst. a D&C was performed during the removal of the cyst and it did not aleviate the spotting in between my periods. i'm not sure if i am fertile since i have not tried to get pregnant. i have never been on birth control except for the 1 month before the removal of my dermoid cyst. is there any other possible diagnosis for my condition besides pcos, if so, what?
