Polycystic Ovary

After eight months, I've finally underwent transrectal ultrasound as a follow-up check up for my last Ob-Gyne consultation. I was supposed to undergo ultrasound last December but because I was busy ((I don't even know why I was busy by then)), I failed to do so.

My ultrasound result last September 2008 revealed that my left ovary has this certain mass  which could be a cyst or just a corpus luteum ((because my menstrual period was about to start in a few days)).  And then, my right ovary reveals to be polycystic. That's why my Ob-Gyne told me to repeat the procedure after three months.

Now, the result is: my right ovary is normal but the left is a polycystic ovary. I got worried upon seeing the result but I waited to talk to my Ob-Gyne first before getting depressed. Although last night, I got sad when I thought about my health again.

So this afternoon, I went to the clinic for a consultation. My OB said that there's nothing to worry because it's just mild. Usually, those patients who have polycystic ovary syndrome have weight gain, irregular or missed periods, unwanted hair growth and acne. Yes, I get to have acnes from time to time but fortunately, I don't have the other three symptoms.

As a treatment, my OB prescribed contraceptive pills. Hopefully, after six months of taking the contraceptive pills, I'll get a better ultrasound result.

I asked my OB if my fertility in the future would be affected. She answered yes but she gave me an assurance that we would be able to work it out. I'll just have to tell her if I am ready to have a baby.

At least, there's no reason to lose hope.

Thank you, Lord, for listening to my prayers.
