Do women with polycystic ovary syndrome need to have further examinations if they take traditional Chinese medicine to induce menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and have recently been using traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. I would like to understand whether I still need to undergo thorough examinations when taking traditional Chinese medicine to induce menstruation.

Doctor's answer:

If PCOS causes irregular menstruation, there's not much a good solution in this case. You can consider taking appropriate oral medications to see if the symptoms can be alleviated. If the symptoms persist and worsen, it's recommended to visit a regular hospital's gynecology department early for follow-up and treatment. Generally, after active treatment, the symptoms may stabilize. There are no other special solutions for the rest. Don't hurry or worry excessively, as a complete recovery will take much longer.
