Hyperandrogenism. It is the killer of the womanhood. Women of any ethnic background can present with PCOS. Polycystic ovaries (PCO) are a common problem among females. As ultrasound examination of such cases is easy, available, cheap and less invasive than hormonal assessments. In practice, ultrasound findings are sometimes equivocal when some patients have normal ovarian volume but with abnormal ovarian morphology. Herein, the study aimed to compare ovarian volume in patients with PCO versus the ovarian morphology and whether one finding alone could make the diagnosis. Ninety(90) patients (women) with clinically and laboratory diagnosed PCO were selected from OPD of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 250 Beded General Hospital , Jamalpur and other private clinic or hospitals in Jamalpur during the period of August 2017 to July 2019.Transabdominal & Transvagina ultrasound was done for assessment of ovarian volume and morphology. In patients, 16(8.8%) ovaries showed normal morphological appearance while the rest (91.1%) showed morphological picture of PCO in the form of detection of 10 or more cysts of 2-8 mm in diameter. Peripherally arranged around on ecodense stroma (redulla). Ovarian morphological feature is more reliable than ovarian volume in diagnosing patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome in polycystic ovaries (PCO) women.
