How to diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?

Patient's question:

Does having hair on a girl's face have anything to do with insulin resistance? Because she used to diet, but her body hair has always been quite thick since she was a child. Her menstrual period is light and delayed by 2 to 3 days, which is similar to polycystic ovary syndrome. She had a thorough check-up before, and the doctor said it wasn't that. Now, should she do a thorough check of the six hormones or the adrenal hormones?

Doctor's answer:

Normal female bodies will again appear with many mild hairs. If the hair is dense, it is a situation where androgens are continuously increasing, which can be caused by female gynecological diseases and endocrine disorders. It is recommended to check the endocrine condition, such as the six sexual hormones. If there are no problems, it generally does not interfere with health and does not need to be addressed. If it affects appearance, laser permanent hair removal in the skin laser department can be considered. Develop a good dietary habit, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink more water to digest the body's required water, and at the same time, engage in various activities to exercise and enhance physical fitness. Also, maintain a scientific lifestyle.
