Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for about seven years. In the first two years after my period started, it was on time, but since then, it has become increasingly severe. I haven't had a period for three or four months, and yesterday I had an ultrasound at the hospital. The results showed that my uterus is normal, but I have polycystic ovaries. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt menstruation, leading to menstrual irregularities. Severe PCOS can also interfere with future fertility. Individuals with PCOS should undergo thorough testing for the six sex hormones to assess whether their hormone levels are normal and should receive strict medical treatment. The recurrence of gynecological diseases poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients must pay attention to treatment during their daily lives and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained.
