Patient's question:
About half a month ago, I had an ultrasound examination at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. The results of the examination are as follows: 1. Anterior position, length 38mm, thickness 34mm, width 37mm, clear uterine cavity line, endometrial thickness 4mm. The echo in the uterine area is uniform, no obvious focal lesions were observed. How is polycystic ovary syndrome treated?Doctor's answer:
The exact cause of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unknown. For women with PCOS who are advised to conceive early, the drug of choice for inducing menopause is clomiphene citrate, as it is simple and has a high success rate. For women with PCOS who have not gone through menopause and do not have hirsutism, and who are not advised to conceive early, progesterone should be administered intermittently, with options including medroxyprogesterone acetate or oral contraceptives. Maintaining a good routine and increasing physical exercise can enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
