Patient's question:
Divorced for two years without pregnancy, I have developed acne on my face and excessive body hair. A senior nurse from the hospital mentioned it might be a problem with menopause. So, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound to examine the quality of my eggs over two cycles. Indeed, the follicle quality was poor during both months; they grew too small, ruling out menopause, and it would be very difficult to conceive. My sister-in-law gave me two boxes of Dianine, but it had no effect. How can the doctor help me go through menopause?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, there may be a possibility of PCOS. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination. For patients with PCOS, persistent anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance are its important characteristics. In terms of treatment, the first step is to adjust lifestyle and control weight. For those who have recently gained weight, it is recommended to improve lifestyle, with a weight loss of 5% to 10% within 2 to 3 months. For patients with abnormal glucose tolerance, metformin can be taken for treatment. After stabilization, medication can be administered to induce menstruation.
