In this episode, Dr Chandrika discusses with host Sowjanya on how PCOS can be diagnosed in teenage girls. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be challenging to diagnose in teenage girls due to its diverse symptoms. Look for irregular periods, excess facial or body hair, and acne. A pelvic exam, blood tests for hormone levels, and an ultrasound to check for cysts on the ovaries are common diagnostic tools. Additionally, ruling out other conditions with similar symptoms is crucial. Consult a healthcare professional experienced in adolescent gynaecology for a comprehensive evaluation. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for mitigating potential long-term effects of PCOS, such as insulin resistance and fertility issues. Listen in.
