What is polycystic ovary syndrome?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I had an ultrasound examination at the hospital to check the uterus. The results are as follows:
Uterus: Anterior position, approximate anteroposterior diameter, endometrial thickness is about, the muscle layer echoes are generally uniform, no obvious fusion is seen in the uterine cavity.
Adnexa: Bilateral ovaries are visible, multiple follicular echoes are detected inside, the largest is located on the right, size is about , no obvious abnormal mass echoes are seen in the bilateral adnexal regions.
The doctor said the basic diagnosis is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Further tests, including hormone levels, are required 2 days after menstruation. I haven’t gone yet. Is it serious now? What treatment is needed? Can it be cured? If diagnosed with PCOS, will I be able to get pregnant in the future? It’s very urgent.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the careful examination results you described, this may be polycystic ovary syndrome. However, it still needs to be confirmed through blood tests. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disease in women and one of the most common causes of menstrual disorders in women of reproductive age. It is clinically characterized by chronic anovulation, amenorrhea, or oligomenorrhea, infertility, obesity, hirsutism, and polycystic ovarian morphology. "Once discovered, timely treatment should be implemented. With effective treatment, it is possible to conceive normally. Please do not worry.
