Patient's question:
I have taken the medicine, but it still hasn't worked. How can I have a normal menstrual period? I'm quite worried about this situation and want my condition to improve through treatment.Doctor's answer:
The exact cause of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unknown. Currently, it is believed that the condition is due to excessive androgen production by the ovaries, which results from the synergistic effect of multiple endocrine system dysfunctions in the body. The main clinical manifestations of PCOS include menstrual disorders, infertility, hirsutism, and obesity. Treatment should first focus on weight control, dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Medications commonly used include clomiphene, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and pure follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Laparoscopic surgery may also be considered when necessary. Additionally, according to specific syndrome differentiation and treatment principles, some traditional Chinese medicine formulations can also play a certain therapeutic role.
