Brief Answer:
Polycystic ovaries

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The ultrasound report is suggestive of bilateral polycystic ovaries, which can be present in normal females and can also be present in hormonal disorder called polycystic ovarian disease.
It can be associated with irregular periods and weight gain.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
