PCOD Diagnosis in Kathmandu
Comprehensive diagnostic approach for accurate PCOD detection
How is PCOD Diagnosed?
PCOD diagnosis involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, ultrasound imaging, and blood tests. Early and accurate diagnosis is key to effective management.
The diagnostic criteria typically include ruling out other conditions and confirming the presence of PCOD through specific tests.
Medical History & Physical Exam
Your doctor will review your menstrual history, symptoms, weight changes, and family history. A physical examination checks for signs like acne, excess hair growth, and abdominal tenderness.
Pelvic Ultrasound
An ultrasound examination checks for enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts. This is a painless, non-invasive procedure that provides clear images of the ovaries and uterus.
