Hello Nisha,
I understand your concern, especially since you’ve had a miscarriage before. Let me explain what these findings mean and guide you.
Your ultrasound shows polycystic ovaries, which is a common condition and can cause delayed periods, pain, and hormonal imbalance. First step: please do a urine pregnancy test since your period is delayed and you have a history of miscarriage.
If pregnancy is ruled out, this pain and delay are likely due to PCOS. I advise:
1. Lifestyle changes – exercise 30 min/day, healthy diet, weight control.
2. If not planning pregnancy now – Oral contraceptive pills for 3–6 months help regularize periods.
3. Metformin 500 mg once daily may help in PCOS if you are overweight or have insulin resistance.
4. For pain, you can take Mefenamic acid 250 mg when needed.
You need hormonal evaluation also - TSH, FT3, FT4, Prolactin, HbA1C
If your pain is severe, or pregnancy test is positive, please see a Gynaecologist or a Family Physician in person urgently.
Regards,
Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med.
Your ultrasound suggests PCOS changes in the left ovary, which can cause irregular ovulation and miscarriages. With proper treatment (lifestyle + medical), chances of successful pregnancy are good.
Please visit a gyaenecologit. Thank you.

What Your Ultrasound Findings Mean
PCOS: Common in young women, causes irregular cycles, difficulty conceiving, sometimes miscarriage.
Sometimes after miscarriage, pelvic pain may also come from infection, adhesions, or endometriosis needs gynecologist review.
What Tests Are Helpful Next
Please discuss with your gynecologist about:
Hormonal profile: LH, FSH, AMH, TSH, Prolactin, Testosterone.
Blood sugar & insulin resistance tests.
Pelvic scan follow-up (to monitor cysts/ovarian changes).
Basic pregnancy loss workup (thyroid, blood sugar, infections, clotting profile) since you had a miscarriage.
Lifestyle changes (very important in PCOS):
Balanced diet: high protein, high fiber, low refined sugar.
Regular exercise (30–40 min/day).
Weight management if overweight.
For Pain:
Hot compress, mild painkillers (paracetamol/mefenamic acid under doctor advice).
Rule out infection/endometriosis if pain is persistent.
For Future Pregnancy / Fertility:
Your doctor may prescribe ovulation-inducing medicines if you plan conception.
Supplements: Folic acid, Vitamin D, omega 3
Hi Nisha,
Right ovary: mildly bulky – can happen in PCOD/PCOS.
Left ovary: multiple small peripheral follicles + increased stromal echogenicity – this is a classic ultrasound finding of PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease).
This means your ovaries are not releasing eggs regularly → can lead to delayed or irregular periods, hormonal imbalance, and difficulty conceiving. Medical management
For pain, you can take Mefenamic acid 250 mg when needed.
Metformin 500 mg once daily for pcos if you are overweight or have insulin resistance.
You need tests: TSH, FT3, FT4, Prolactin, HbA1C
Diet:
Eat balanced meals rich in vegetables, whole grains, proteins (eggs, dal, paneer, chicken).
Avoid excess sugar, junk, and processed foods.
Prefer low GI foods (oats, millets, brown rice).
Exercise: 30–40 mins brisk walk/yoga/strength training at least 5 days a week.
Weight control: Even a 5–7% weight reduction improves periods and fertility.
Feel free to ask dear Thank you
Hello There’s a History of PCOS and a miscarriage. Those need to be further evaluated by hormonal tests For the pain take symptomatic treatment either T.Meftal spas or T.Drotin, but they needs to be evaluated too with an Ultrasound
Your scan findings and symptoms suggest polycystic ovarian changes (PCOS), which can cause irregular ovulation, pain, and may be linked with miscarriage risk. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced diet, exercise, and weight management can help improve fertility outcomes. Please consult a gynecologist/reproductive endocrinologist for proper hormonal evaluation and treatment options to support future pregnancy.
1. Your ultrasound findings suggest PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), which is why you are having irregular periods and pain in the back and stomach.
2. PCOD causes hormonal imbalance, multiple small ovarian follicles, and often leads to delayed periods and difficulty in conceiving.
3. Since you also mentioned a history of miscarriage, proper hormonal evaluation (thyroid, prolactin, blood sugar, and reproductive hormones) is important.
4. Pain can be due to ovarian cyst changes, hormonal imbalance, or associated uterine issues it should be monitored with follow up scans.
5. Lifestyle changes such as weight control, regular exercise, balanced diet (low sugar, high protein, fiber), and stress management significantly improve PCOD symptoms.
6. Medicines like hormonal tablets (OCPs) or ovulation inducing drugs may be prescribed by a gynecologist depending on whether you are planning pregnancy now or later.
Your scan findings suggest polycystic ovary changes, which can sometimes cause pain, hormonal imbalance, and increase risk of miscarriage. Since you’ve had a miscarriage before and ongoing pain, it’s important to get your hormonal profile and reproductive health evaluated. Please consult a gynecologist or fertility specialist for further tests and a tailored treatment plan.
The symptoms you’re describing, including the presence of multiple peripheral follicles in your left ovary and increased stromal echogenicity, can be indicative of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. PCOS can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, which might explain the delay in your period. As for back and stomach pain, while these symptoms can sometimes be associated with PCOS, it’s important to also consider other potential causes, which might include gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal issues. Given that you’ve experienced a miscarriage and persistent discomfort, further evaluation is warranted to ensure there are no underlying complications or additional conditions. For management, lifestyle changes often play a crucial part. This includes maintaining a balanced diet aimed at achieving a healthy weight, as weight management can significantly impact PCOS symptoms. Regular physical activity also helps to regulate your cycle and reduce insulin resistance, which is a factor in PCOS. Pain management might involve over-the-counter pain relievers, but consult your healthcare provider to avoid any contraindications, especially considering your history of miscarriage. If pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor. They may consider imaging tests to rule out other causes or tailor specific treatments for your symptoms. Additionally, it’s important to monitor your menstrual cycle and report any significant changes or concerns to your gynecologist — this is particularly pertinent because of your miscarriage history. Keep a detailed account of your cycle, pain occurrences, and any other symptoms, which will assist in providing more precise treatment options. If you’re trying to conceive again, working closely with a fertility specialist might be beneficial to address any potential hormonal imbalances and plan your care accordingly. Remember, while self-management steps are helpful, it’s crucial to maintain regular follow-ups with your medical provider to ensure comprehensive care and address any advanced interventions that might be necessary.
