A member asked:
Hi maam what does it mean by multiple peripherally arranged follicles in both ovaries , along with the right ovary larger than left one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS: Usually multiple peripherally arranged follicles signifies a "string of pearls" sign which is representative of a condition called PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which means that your ovaries aren't getting the right signals to release eggs at the right time. This can be a cause of infertility, but not always. Talk about it more with your doctor or arrange a consult for more information.
