How is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) caused?

Patient's question:

Female, 64 years old, her body gradually doesn't feel well, and she doesn't know what's wrong either. It seems like she lacks energy. Please ask: What is polycystic ovary syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common clinical condition associated with infertility. When patients return for follow-up, they often present with symptoms such as reduced menstrual flow and recurrent infertility. Clinically, a thorough examination will be conducted, including detailed testing of sex hormones. This may reveal elevated androgens, but an ultrasound may not confirm the presence of PCOS. There is no natural cure for this condition, and treatment will be tailored to the patient's specific needs. If pregnancy is desired, we recommend early pregnancy monitoring. If pregnancy is not the goal, we focus on regulating the menstrual cycle.
