What is the Difference Between PCO and PCOS?
The term 'polycystic ovaries' describes the ovaries, as seen on the ultrasound scan above. Many women have ovaries that are polycystic, but do not have any of the other symptoms or hormone findings as described previously.
Overall, around 20% of women of the general population have ovaries with this appearance, and what isn't known yet from current research is whether this is one end of a long scale including the full polycystic ovary syndrome or a sign that symptoms are more likely to develop in the future.

my blood test everything shows normal. my period is on the dot and i dun have any symptons of a PCOS woman, namely ACNE, EXCESSIVE FACIAL HAIR etc.
Also PCOS women r generally Insulin resistant, high cholesterol level etc..
So i only have the ovaries that r polycystic but i dun have PCOS. dr says it could have been caused by a series of ovulution that wasn't past out as period? many reasons..
but the mainpoint is I do ovulute..
