I am currently managing PCOD and have completed a two month course, now starting my third month. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent and severe headaches. My doctor advised me to get my prolactin levels tested, and my blood report shows a prolactin level of 44.45 ng per ml. Could you please advise what steps I should take next?

A slightly raised prolactin level can occur in PCOD or even due to stress. Your doctor may adjust medication accordingly. Exercise helps in resolving PCOD. Stay calm, and track this with repeat testing.

Question

I have attached my recent medical report for your reference. I am currently taking Divery 10 mg tablets, prescribed to help induce my periods, and today is the last (5th) day of the course. However, I still have not gotten my period. Along with this, I am experiencing several other symptoms including full body pain, hair fall, mood swings, irritability, lack of focus, weakness, morning dizziness (especially on days I do not exercise), and muscle pain throughout the day.

Question

I have acne issues since 2013 and recently I was diagnosed with PCOS. My report says right ovary 33.6x15.5x30.0 mm volume 8.18 cc and left ovary 30.6x24.1x30.9 mm volume 11.9 cc. Ovaries are mildly enlarged and show an increase in stromal echogenicity and thickness. Multiple small similar sized follicles are seen in both. How serious is this issue and should I go for medication or can it be managed by lifestyle changes?

Question

With the advice of my gynaecologist, I underwent a follicular study today. Today is day 12. My report shows DF right ovary 32x25 mm, DF left ovary no DF, endometrial thickness 6.3 mm, free fluid in POD no, uterus normal size 98x53x44 mm, anteverted in position. Can you please explain if there is any problem with this report?
