Patient's question:
I had two hormone panel tests. The doctor said the results from the second test were slightly better compared to the first, but they are still abnormal, with elevated luteinizing hormone. There's a possibility of developing polycystic ovary syndrome in the future. However, the doctor didn't prescribe any medication. What could be the cause of this, and how should I regulate it?Doctor's answer:
Are both of your lab reports taken on the third to fourth day of your menstrual cycle? Based on your first lab report, it seems like the results were obtained during the premenopausal period, while the second report appears to be from the mid-luteal phase. If both tests were conducted on the third to fourth day of your menstrual cycle, the results would be abnormal. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is mostly related to hereditary factors and the environment, and it cannot be determined from lab reports whether you will develop PCOS in the future.
