What are the causes of polycystic ovary syndrome?

Patient's question:

Ovulation-inducing drugs, ovulation occurred, later the menstrual cycle adjusted to once every month, previously it was once every three months, there was ovulation in between, but the ovulation time was relatively late, but the ovulation time of each cycle was different, sometimes good, sometimes not. Currently still taking traditional Chinese medicine. Had an ultrasound, it did not show polycystic ovary syndrome, traditional Chinese medicine said I have secondary infertility. What disease do I actually have?

Doctor's answer:

With menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, anovulation, hirsutism, obesity, and infertility combined with bilateral ovarian enlargement presenting as cystic changes, this is known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Patients may exhibit all of the above typical symptoms, or only some of them, but infertility due to ovulation disorders is the main clinical manifestation of PCOS.
Recommendation: It is recommended to undergo treatment with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM treatment requires syndrome differentiation based on specific pulse patterns, targeting the root cause and prescribing medications that correspond to the symptoms, which can help achieve normal ovulation.
