Could a simple ultrasound tell PCOS apart from a rare hormone disorder?
NCT ID NCT06211608
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study used 2D and 3D ultrasound to measure uterine and endometrium volume in 648 women with PCOS or HPOD, two conditions that cause irregular periods. The goal was to see if these measurements could help tell the two disorders apart. The study did not test any treatment, but aimed to improve understanding of how the uterus responds in these conditions.
