Polycystic ovary syndrome is a female health problem that can affect the menstrual cycle, ability to have kids, cysts on ovaries, weight gain and other issues. I live with this every day. It makes life difficult knowing that most of my problems come from this. It all started on March 13, 2014 when I went in for a female exam. I did not think that my life would change just a few short days later. I received a phone call Miss. Kelley, we found abnormal cells on your cervix. You need to be further tested. Two weeks later I was at the OB-GYN learning that I have pre-cancer cells on my cervix, and getting a biopsy to see how just how bad it is. The doctor sent it out for testing, and a week later I was back in her office. We discussed what needs to be done to remove the cancer cells. During this visit I told her I think I may have polycystic ovary syndrome. She asks me questions, and then I am sent for more testing, even an ultrasound.
The ultrasound revealed that I have excessive growth on the lining of my uterus that requires me to have now not only one but two procedures. .
The first is a Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure to have the cancer cells burnt off my cervix, a few biopsies to see what else is going on with me and a Dilation and Curettage procedure to scrape the lining of my uterus from years of not having periods. During all this, it was confirmed that I have polycystic ovary syndrome and endometrial hyperplasia without atypia . Now I have to be tested in three months, six months and then one year to make sure that my lining is still with in normal range and that my cancer cells are not back. Even out of what I have learned, and experienced there is just one thing that I can not seem to get over. That is being infertile. .
With polycystic ovary syndrome comes a lot of problems. I do not have periods once a month. Cysts on my ovaries, hormonal issues and infertility just to name a few.
