Bulky Ovary??!! endocrinologist?

[grneyednurse]

LOFL...who knew your bulky ovary discussion would head in this direction? I guess better a cul de sac than not? I have never had the oppurtunity to live in a cul de sac although I ahve always envied friends who have had one...so quiet...peaceful...until ovulation whn the street obviously becomes drenched with fluid. Imagine living on this street. A huge egg comes out after the rain.....

Could it be "pouch of douglas" it sits behind the uterus? - When you google "fluid in pouch of douglas" it does bring up hits.

I'm still trying to think what the endocrinologist has to do with it all. I see the endocrinologist if I have problems with my thyroid function. the mind boggles

 

[mrphyemma]

Ignore me, I have just googled and apparently PCOS is an endocrine problem. Had no idea but had I thought about the insulin resistance part I might have twigged.

yeah i didnt twig straight away about endocrinologist. what does he do em?

 

[mrphyemma]

I don't honestly know with regards to ttc Vicks. A lot of endocrine problems are linked so as I have hypo-thyroidism I was tested for diabetes and coeliac disease and also had my pituitary gland tested. I would guess he will monitor your metformin and maybe prescribe clomid but I assumed a normal fs could do that.

thats where i am confused!! obviously i have hypothyrodism too so maybe they will do some checks on that and how it links in!
it gets complex as the two cross over, they wouldnt check the oving though just deal with the pcos. but the pcos causes probs with oving blah blah! gonna be a long and winding road.....

Endocrinologist deals with mostly diabetes and of course the thyroid, pancreas, adrenals and such whereas...a reproductive endocrinologist would deal mainly with the glands involving reproduction: ovaries, testes, pituitary...but we all know near all the glands affect the others if even one is "off" with regards to reproduction and so they deal with everything as a whole and treat accordingly. People with only pancreatic (diabetic) issues mainly see an endocrinologist. Anyhow....don't even know what the question was and am blabbing off atm
