Hello. Thanks for your Query.

I shall try to explain the report in detail

This report is a complete blood picture along with Lipid profile and hormone analysis.

Your Hemoglobin is quite less than normal which is 12-15 mg/dl .This means you are suffering from anemia where there is reduced hemoglobin resulting in impairment of daily activities and exercises. It depends on the iron intake, iron stores in your body and also the structure of hemoglobin .

The counts of RBC,WBC,Platelets are all within normal limits. These represent the functioning of bone marrow, which is normal here.

The total cholesterol is 225 mg/dl which is little higher than the upper limits (200mg/dl).The triglycerides are also a bit on higher side(normal limits (25-200mg/dl).LDL cholesterol is 140 which is 20 points above the normal range.

Coming to FSH and LH, the ratio of FSH and LH is reversed in your case which is almost 3:1. This is makes a clear confirmation that you are suffering from Polycystic ovarian syndrome, where there is no ovulation due to hormonal imbalance. Thyroid status is normal as the TSH levels are well within the normal limits.

I recommend you the following:

1)Avoid foods like pizzas and burgers, that are rich in fat

2)Make some life style changes like early morning walking, eating rich fibre and less fat food.

3)Consult a physician for the treatment of Hyperlipidimia, a condition where there is an increased amount of cholesterol in the body

4)Consult a gynaecologist to confirm the diagnosis of PCOS and for further management.

Keep a regular check on your hormone levels in order to avoid complications and to have a pregnancy , if you are planning to.
