Patient's question:
Doctor, my menstrual cycle is irregular. I had an ultrasound and the result showed polycystic ovary syndrome. The six hormone tests indicated high luteinizing hormone. The doctor prescribed drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets. Will this lead to infertility in the future? How can polycystic ovary syndrome be treated?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause endocrine disorders, leading to irregular menopause and potentially affecting fertility. It is recommended to take medication to regulate hormone levels in the body. Once the hormone levels are normalized, you can have regular menstrual cycles and a normal menopause. It is also advised to avoid high-fat fried foods and carbonated drinks, while increasing the intake of fruits, vegetables, and regular exercise.
