PCOD or PCOS
3 years ago, i had 2 cysts in my ovaries, one in the left one 28mm, the other in the right one 42mm. I took contraceptives for 3 months and they were gone. There was a lot of pain and swelling in my lower abdomen but my periods were fine, hormones were normal. I again had pain after 6months, sever pain not like period cramps though my periods were fine, then again i had multiple cysts in both the ovaries, this time the left one was more swelled up and again i had swelling in lower abdomen. I took contraceptives for 3months and then started with homeopathy medicine as my gynec diagnosed me with PCOD and recommended homeopathy. My hormones, thyroid, sugar, all the reports normal. All the symptoms were there, weight gain and everything, they were controlled slowly but i never had normal periods till date after stopping the contraceptives. Now, i had sever pain again so,got ultrasound done in June and i have multiple cysts again, hormones thyroid sugar all tests normal. Is it PCOD or PCOS?
