Irregular menstruation, increased follicles - what should be done?

Patient's question:

I had irregular menstruation for a while, sometimes it would stop and then come back after a long time. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said my follicles were continuously increasing. Now, I mainly want to ask our gynecologist what causes menstrual irregularity and continuously increasing follicles? I am quite particular about medicinal diets in my daily life.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation, continuous increase in follicles, it is necessary to be cautious about how to develop polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), because PCOS, the ultrasound image mainly shows multiple small follicles in both ovaries, and it is prone to irregular menstruation, less menstrual volume, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital on the 3rd day of menstruation to draw blood for 6 hormone tests to understand if you really have PCOS. If it is confirmed that you have PCOS, you can take some hormone drugs for cyclic therapy. For gynecological patients, in addition to relieving symptoms with medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as paying attention to hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean at all times.
