Yes, they will 100% see it on an ultrasound.Often the hormone results are all theyll need for the diagnosis, but in some cases doctors will recommend the ultrasound to get information on the size and appearance of the ovaries. Its possible to decline to get the ultrasound. If you really dont want one, the doctor may be okay with skipping it.Or is there a way you can go to the ultrasound with another family member who you trust to know about the IUD?
I have a secret IUD and need to undergo a non-invasive pelvic ultrasound, will it be detected?Hi! I'm a 22 year old woman who lives in a conservative Muslim society and I need to undergo a pelvic ultrasound to test for PCOS. I secretly got an IUD while living abroad, never thought I would have to move back to my home country so wasn't prepared for this situation. My mother accompanies me wherever I go because I'm never allowed out of the house alone.I recently had my blood checked and the test report includes: levels of FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, renal function tests, liver function tests and a lipid profile. Can a doctor come to a conclusion about whether I have PCOS based off my hormone levels, or is an ultrasound mandatory?
