question: Hi doctor, I have a couple of conditions, and I would like to enquire whether there could be an underlying cause. I am a 27 year old female, and I have recently been told I have PCOS. I am not entirely surprised, as I have painful ovulation. I am due to have a follow-up to further discuss scan results. Before this, as a teenager, I was diagnosed with slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE), which I have managed to keep under control. Prior to my hip condition, I developed kidney scarring from a bad infection. For both of these, I was monitored for a few years. Are there any other tests that I should request? Could there be an underlying cause, like a deficiency or hormonal inbalance? Thanks in advance.
