Patient's question:
PPD-IgM negative - IgG positive (weak), after this test, the doctor said I might have tuberculosis. I had an X-ray, and there were no shadows in my lungs. IgG positive indicates antibody production due to toxoplasma infection. Can you elaborate on this?First follow-up question: What are the effects of polycystic ovary symptoms on pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Hello,The typical clinical manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) include the following:
① Menstrual disorders: Primarily amenorrhea, most of which is secondary amenorrhea. Before amenorrhea, there is often menstrual oligomenorrhea or hypomenorrhea. Occasionally, menstrual hypermenorrhea or polymenorrhea may occur.
② Infertility: Due to menstrual disorders and anovulation, infertility is common.
③ Hirsutism and obesity: Excessive androgen secretion in the body can lead to hirsutism and obesity. Hair distribution tends to be masculine, and hirsutism may not be noticed by the patient.
④ Bilateral ovarian enlargement: In some cases, gynecological examination reveals that the bilateral ovaries are 1 to 3 times larger than normal and have a hard texture.
A positive IgG result indicates that you have been infected with Toxoplasma gondii and have developed antibodies. However, there is currently no way to determine when the infection occurred, making it difficult to say whether it will affect the fetus. Generally, if antibodies have already developed before pregnancy, it will not affect the fetus. If the infection occurs during pregnancy, it may lead to conditions such as miscarriage, fetal malformation, or congenital developmental abnormalities.
