How to Test for PCOD and Thyroid Deficiency?
Patient's Query
I'm Nikhitha, a 22-year-old female diagnosed with mild PCOD during COVID. At 19, I consulted a gynecologist, took a 3-month course, and my periods became regular. I was advised to lose weight, and after dropping from 63 kg to 54 kg, my cycles remained consistent. In 2023, after intimacy with my boyfriend (without ejaculation inside), I feared delayed periods due to PCOD and started taking Prevent N monthly for a year (2 tablets daily for 3 days). In February and March 2025, I also took Unwanted 75 after intercourse. My periods are now irregular, though I'm not pregnant. I'm worried about my health and future fertility. I plan to visit a gynecologist soon but want to get tested for PCOD and thyroid beforehand. Could you suggest relevant tests and any insights on my condition? I'm feeling anxious.
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Given your history with PCOD, irregular cycles can occur, especially after hormonal contraceptive use. Important tests include a pelvic ultrasound and hormone level assessments (LH, FSH, testosterone, and thyroid function). Healthy lifestyle choices, such as maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise, can also support your reproductive health. It’s normal to feel anxious, but your proactive approach is commendable. Consulting with a gynecologist will provide personalized guidance and reassurance.
