Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hypothyroidism? |
I had a blood test last week for hypothyroidism and the results came back saying I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, I have looked up symptoms etc on this and my symptoms match the Hypothyroidism more than the PCOS?! I have PCOS. I have also been tested for hypothyroidism, so it is possible to have both. For the PCOS, did they do an ultrasound of your ovaries? If not, ask your dr. to do one. There really is no cure for PCOS, but you can go on certain meds to help with the symptoms. For example, if your periods are not normal you could go on birth control. Many people (including myself) are on Metformin to help with ovulation. If you are having problems getting pregnant you could go on Clomid. Ask your doctor about these options. Also, weight often has a lot to do with controlling PCOS symptoms. So, if you are overweight, you may want to discuss your best diet with a nutritionist or your dr. A good website is www.pcosupport.org. Good Luck! I personally dont know anything about the condition but have you try visiting "Brigham and Womens Hospital" website it is on of the nations top 100 hospitals. I have PCOS as well and while all I know is I've been diagnosed with that (I've never been tested for hypothyroidism) it is very treatable for most people. Since being diagnosed I have found so many people have it. I'm being treated with Metformin which has seemed to help significantly. I had some pretty bad side effects for about 2 months but since then I've been perfectly fine. |
