	Answer by Dr Bhupinder K, MD (doctor) on Fri 29, Aug 2008 06:08am: Hello, The term multifollicular or multicystic ovary is applied in the incidence of 6 or more follicles (small sacs containing the ovum), each with a diameter of 4 – 8 mm which can even expand to 10 mm in cases of exception, whereas a normal ovary will show one, at the most two fully developed follicles. A clear distinction should be made between this condition and polycystic ovaries, where the patient will also show hormonal changes as well as changes in her metabolism. As a rule, multifollicular ovaries do not require treatment, the more so as they do not involve any far-reaching changes in hormone levels. There is no influence on the levels of lipids (cholesterol, triglyceride), or the glucose and insulin levels as is present in PCOS. http://www.ferticon.de/text.php3?artikel=8&seq=2&la=en To differentiate it from PCOS.you can get tests like 2 hr GTT,serum androgen and testosterone levels,LH-FSH ratio,prolactin levels,TSH levels,17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and 3D ultrasound done.3 D ultrasound is the golden test for diagnosing PCOS.All these tests will be normal in multifollicular ovary but not so in PCOS.
