For the last 8-10 years (25 years old now) I have had my normal menstrual cycle with severe period pains, sickness, 7 days + worth of pains, heaviness and days where I could not move to do anything. I was refereed to the hospital where they did a ultrasound and trans scan on my womb etc. The results where that I had no signs of endometriosis (which is what they originally thought it was). But from that they seen that my left ovary was of normal size (4.8mm). But my right ovary was 7mm in size. Due to this, the doctor referred me for a blood test to see if the reason for the size increase in my right ovary was because of a condition called polycystic ovaries. I have just received a phone call from my doctor to say my test results have come back and I have high levels of prolactin in my blood which obviously is very confusing. I am awaiting to book another appointment in with the doctor but I am wondering if anyone on here has a similar condition and if their is any clarification on what this all could mean. As you can imagine I want to just find out why this is the case and how are they all connected. Thank you :)
Period pains/ suspected endometriosis/polycystic ovaries & high levels of prolactin, can anyone help
hi, sorry you are dealing with this. I do not know much about PCOS but do know that is is very common. One thing I noticed was that the dr mentioned you had no signs of endometriosis from the ultrasound. I have endometriosis and you can’t detect endometriosis from an ultrasound. The only way to detect it is from a laparoscopy. if you feel like it may be a possibility I would press for more answers and get a second opinion.
