Abstract: (4134 Views)
Two-hundred and seventeen subjects underwent transvaginal ultrasound -17
(8%) had unilateral polycystic ovary (PCO). Twelve percent of subjects with
unilateral scan-pea had oligomenorrhea, 24% were amenorrheic, 23% were hirsute
and 29% had acne. Biochemical parameters were compared between subjects with
unilateral scan- PCO and those with bilateral scan- PCO (n=200) as well as a group
of scan-normal women (n=29). No significant difference was found between
subjects with bilateral and unilateral scan- PCO suggesting that these 2 groups are
biochemically similar. The existence of unilateral scan- PCO suggests that peas
may be a primary ovarian disorder.
