Patient's question:
I have had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) for many years, and my menstrual cycle is irregular. I went to the hospital, but they didn't provide specific treatment. However, I recently want to get pregnant. How should I pay attention when trying to get pregnant with PCOS?Doctor's answer:
The problem is speculated that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by endocrine dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which disrupts mutual exclusion and regulation, leading to long-term inability of the ovaries to menopause and thus infertility. It is a lifelong condition, but if effective treatment is obtained, it does not interfere with fertility and survival. Diet should be maintained long-term with high fiber, low fat, and low calories. 1. Prevent obesity, which may exacerbate the disease; 2. Appropriate physical exercise; 3. Understand the disease and maintain a positive mindset to face it; 4. Develop awareness of creating long-term suppression and stabilizing a healthy lifestyle.
