Brief Answer: USG is just one test. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX, Hi! PCOD is a state of insulin resistance and USG is just one of the test. you must see if you have excess facial hair, acne, you are overweight, irregular periods, high LH, check OGTT, even if every thing is normal and you are symptomatic you must treat.
