Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. At first, I didn't take medication and had my period almost every two months. Later, I worked with the doctor and took some period-regulating medication. Then, I went to a larger hospital where the doctor prescribed Dian. After that, I took some traditional Chinese medicine intermittently.Now, I don't take medication and don't have my period. This year, I want to have a child and went to the hospital again. The doctor ordered a blood test and discovered a thyroid nodule. I had surgery for it. Last month, I went for a follow-up check for hypothyroidism, and now the doctor is adjusting my medication dosage. Currently, I take two tablets of in the morning and one tablet of in the evening.
Last night, I soaked my feet in water with pepper and salt. After the soak, my lower left abdomen swelled, and I had a strong urge to urinate but couldn't. How is this possible? I've never had this issue before.
Besides that, I want to know how I can get pregnant as soon as possible while dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome?
Doctor's answer:
One: Polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothyroidism can cause irregular menstruation. It is necessary to endure the medication Indobufen and L-thyroxine properly.Two: Left lower abdominal bloating and frequent urination may be due to urinary tract infection or stones. First, get a urinalysis. If it is infectious, take Ofloxacin and Thirteen Gold Tablets for two weeks. If it is not infectious, have an ultrasound of the kidney and bladder to rule out stones.
Three: Enduring the medication may lead to pregnancy, and pregnancy increases the risk of malformations. After pregnancy, pay attention to screening and do not stop taking L-thyroxine.
