Patient's question:
Female, 29, with PCOS for 3 years, has been under treatment. She is hoping to get cured before trying to conceive. However, the condition keeps recurring without improvement. Her menstrual cycle sometimes only comes once a year. Her in-laws are eager to have a grandchild, and the doctor says her infertility is related to PCOS. But despite taking medication, she hasn't been able to regulate it. She wants to ask: besides PCOS, what are the other reasons for female infertility?Doctor's answer:
The most prominent feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is irregular menstruation. Other factors that may interfere with pregnancy include the uterus, fallopian tubes, and male semen. The next step involves testing male semen, undergoing hysterosalpingography, and assessing how your weight, blood sugar, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, and insulin levels are abnormal. It is important to maintain adequate rest during daily life. You can consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
