Patient's question:
Since suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, I have always experienced menstrual cramps combined with a delay of seven to eight days. What should I do about irregular periods caused by polycystic ovary syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by persistent anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance, which can lead to menstrual irregularities. Currently, treatment primarily focuses on hormone drugs and traditional Chinese medicine to regulate and restore normal menstrual cycles. Dietary control and increased physical activity are also recommended to reduce weight and waist circumference. For those seeking pregnancy, ovulation induction and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed.
