PCOS cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound

[@brightlights23]

Thank you for shedding light on such a confusing topic in women's health.

I love how you explain things. I love how precise and multi-factorial you are about it. I love that you write down keypoints I can screenshot for my own notes. And I love how calming your voice sounds, cause it's one of these things I can have senssory issues with. Thank you very much for sharing this work.

My doctor diagnosed me with PCOS because I have high prolactin levels , I have no physical symptoms , sounds like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about 😩

No... PCOS is NOT "an umbrella term like IBS" that "just means you have high androgen levels when all other conditions are ruled out..." 🤦‍♀️ That's so vague and invalidating and completely disregards the fact that there is literally a list of necessary diagnostic criteria for the condition, and both androgen levels AND ultrasound results are on it! (So yes, doctors absolutely CAN - and DO - use ultrasounds to confirm a PCOS diagnosis! Just because you ALSO need a full bloodwork analysis to rule out other conditions doesn't mean the ultrasound is any less valid! 😑) What the title/intro to this video SHOULD say is that PCOS "cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound ALONE," since there are TWO parts to the process, one of them BEING the ultrasound, and that distinction matters! High androgen levels are a SYMPTOM of PCOS, not the root cause of it! For anyone else who's here to try and learn more about their own diagnosis, here's a link to a video that (IMO) explained it a lot better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6SXh2qBrqqlkNksi=GjQjjLIzj8Xqpmyd
