Patient's question:
A 53-year-old woman has been feeling quite tired recently and has noticed that her body isn't feeling healthy. Could it be this disease? Please ask: What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibits a wide range of clinical manifestations because it can present with some features such as hyperinsulinemia, others with hyperandrogenism, and some primarily manifest as menopausal disorders. In clinical diagnosis, the main symptoms include obesity, acne, hirsutism, hair loss, and others. Some patients may experience dysmenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycles (with periods of amenorrhea alternating with menstruation), and irregular menstrual patterns. These are all clinical manifestations of PCOS. Additionally, some patients may have irregular menstrual cycles but show no other obvious symptoms.
