4. Alzheimer’s disease
5. Alcohol abuse

If you are finding these diseases then you must take extra precautions

Do you doubt yourself suffering from PCOs?

Then ask yourself 3 questions

1. Do you have very irregular menstruations, or do you get periods after taking pills?
2. Do you perceive excessive hair growth on your body (especially on face, chest, and lower abdomen), excessive pimples and acne, and abnormal hair falling on the front part of the head?
3. Was the diagnosis properly done by experts who are well versed in reproductive endocrinology?

Ultrasound of ovaries is important to make the diagnosis, but we cannot pay too much importance because how, who, where may change the picture of diagnosis.
