Clinical presentation, hormonal profiles and ultrasonic ovarian morphology in women with suspected polycystic ovarian disease.
The aim of this study is to determine the clinical presentation, hormonal profiles and ultrasonic ovarian morphology in a group of Thai women with polycystic ovarian disease. The patients consisted of 54 women who had abnormal menstruation, androgenic symptoms, LH to FSH ratio of at least 3 and normal serum prolactin. The clinical and hormonal profiles of the patients were similar to the previous reports from developed countries. The typical ultrasonic cystic appearance of the ovaries was observed in about two-thirds of the patients. The patients with cystic ovaries had lower mean body weight but higher mean serum LH and FSH than the control group.
