Patient's question:
Female, 29, with PCOS for 3 years, undergoing treatment continuously. I'm thinking of getting pregnant after being cured, but the condition keeps fluctuating without improvement. Sometimes my period only comes once a year. My in-laws are eager to have a grandchild, and the doctor says my infertility is related to PCOS. But I've been taking medication and adjusting, yet it's still not working. I want to ask, besides PCOS, what are the other reasons for female infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis of the condition: The most prominent feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is abnormal menstruation. Other factors that may interfere with pregnancy include the uterus, fallopian tubes, and male semen.Advice: It is recommended to visit a hospital for timely examination. Maintain good health, and the next steps should include checking the male semen, undergoing hysterosalpingography (HSG), and assessing whether you have an unhealthy weight. Additionally, evaluate if there are abnormalities in metabolic indicators such as blood sugar, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, and insulin levels.
