Diagnosis of polycystic ovaries
The diagnosis of polycystic ovary is not difficult: the disorder is perfectly visualized by ultrasound. However, additional manipulations are performed in foreign clinics and gynecological departments to clarify the nature, extent and course of the disease.
Among them:
- Traditional gynecological examination in mirrors
- Transvaginal, transabdominal and transrectal (for young girls) Ultrasound scan
- Folliculometry
- Detailed laboratory tests on the hormonal panel (FSH, LH, free testosterone, etc.)
- Laboratory blood tests (general clinical and biochemical)
- Ultrasound diagnostics of the adrenal glands and thyroid gland
- Hysterosalpingography
- MRI of the pelvic and pituitary organs (Turkish saddle)
Accurate differentiation of pathology helps foreign gynecologists and endocrinologists to make the right decision regarding therapeutic tactics. Treatment of polycystic ovaries is aimed at eliminating symptoms, correcting etiological factors, and preventing complications, including infertility.
Treatment of polycystic ovaries abroad
Polycystic ovarian disease treatment in clinics abroad provides for a range of conservative measures, supplemented by surgical intervention if necessary.
The following procedures and remedies are used for therapeutic purposes:
- Treatment with hormonal drugs of new generations
- Diet therapy
- Physiotherapy (electrophoresis, laser treatment, etc.)
- Hardware ovarian drilling
- Resection of affected gonadal areas
Doctors are focusing their efforts on preventing recurrence and malignant degeneration of the endometrium, which is possible in severe forms of polycystic ovary syndrome. In some cases, women purposefully come to the country to solve only the problem of infertility. To restore reproductive function, the rebound effect of hormonal drugs or surgery is used, depending on the nature of the course of the disease.
