I am 37 years old. I have acne on face upper back and neck. I had acne problem for a long time. It used to appear more during the start of menstrual cycle but recently after pregnancy my baby is 6 months old now the problem has accelerated. During pregnancy one of my reports showed PCOS in right ovary. I conceived naturally and no treatment was taken. I consulted an allopathic doctor who said it is due to hormonal changes and prescribed Persol gel but I feel it is not effective. Please suggest some medicine? I want to get rid of acne.

Acne worsening after childbirth can be linked to hormonal changes and PCOS. Since the acne appears on the face, back, and neck, it may suggest an ongoing hormonal imbalance. While topical treatments help some people, others may require hormonal evaluation to address the root cause. A dermatologist or endocrinologist can guide you further.

My report shows that both ovaries have a polycystic appearance (small cysts amidst normal tissue). The report suggests a polycystic ovarian variant. My right ovary measures 6.7 cc and the left ovary 3.2 cc. Do I have PCOS, and how severe is it? How can it be treated?

Please check my test report and suggest me. Can I get treatment online and the necessary medicine? I was discharged early, and my sperm count is low and thin.

Hello, I am attaching my medical report and would appreciate it if you could help me understand the main issue so I can begin appropriate treatment. The doctor mentioned that I have a gallbladder stone, a kidney stone, and an endometriotic cyst, and said these conditions may make it difficult for me to conceive. I have been prescribed the following medications for pain management, Calpol 500 mg (2 tablets, three times a day), Naprosyn 500 mg (twice a day), Tramazac 50 mg (three times a day), and Pantop 40 mg (to be taken on an empty stomach). I am quite worried and would like to know if any of these conditions are serious and what should be my next steps.
