I am a 29 year old female, I have 2 children and this past pregnancy i had a hard time getting pregnant and my ob diagnosed me with PCOS. I have a dull aching in my left lower abdomen near my overies. My family has a history of benign tumors that have been found around age 30. It scares me a bit. But not sure if this is the case with me or if it is something else that may be causing it.
Hi, Thanks for writing in.PCs or polycystic ovarian syn Chat Doctor.  This happens due to imbalance of hormones. It is important that you confirm the diagnosis of PCs by doing the ultrasound scan. Half the patients on ultrasound show enlarged ovaries with increased stoma and peripheral arrangement of follicles and this is the typical PCs presentation. Lower abdominal pain m, ight occur in some. Most women have weight gain, male pattern of facial hair distribution and irregular cycles or absent periods. Please do not get scared, if PCs is confirmed then taking hormone pills for few months will treat the condition. Please do not worry.
