Patient's question:
Doctors, hello. My previous menstrual cycles were very regular, but since last year, my periods have been irregular. I took medication, but it didn't help. I also had abdominal pain and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They found that I have polycystic ovary syndrome. Will polycystic ovaries cause menstrual irregularities?Doctor's answer:
Yes, if you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), it may lead to menstrual irregularities. Additionally, PCOS can result in anovulation or affect fertility. It is usually treated by diagnosing and addressing the lack of ovulation. Therefore, in clinical diagnosis, the focus is generally on treating the condition and striving to achieve pregnancy and childbirth as soon as possible. If the issue is only menstrual irregularities, then it is not usually a major problem. During treatment, women should pay attention to their self-care. It is recommended to focus on maintaining good vaginal hygiene and following a light diet.
