Hello
Thanks for writing to us

Findings suggests polycystic ovarian disease(PCOD).
PCOD has typical appearance in USG and it is indicated by increase ovarian size,hyperechoic stroma and necklace appearance of cysts arranged in periphery.
Dominant follicle in left ovary measures 13 x 11 mm.

PCOD should be confirmed by clinical correlation and biochemical markers like hormonal assay for PCOD.
PCOD is a curable disease and mostly it is treated by medicines.Surgical intervention is required in very few cases.

Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
