Patient's question:
Last October, I underwent medication-induced abortion and uterine aspiration. My menstrual cycle was normal. In March of this year, I caught a cold during my menstrual period and took medication afterward. By May, I had not had a period. A hospital ultrasound suggested polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). After taking progesterone, my period returned. In June, when my period was normal, I caught another cold and took some cold medicine. My period did not come until August. I went to the hospital for an endocrine check-up, with the following results:| Test Name | Result | Unit | Reference Range |
|-----------------|--------|------|-----------------|
| Serum Testosterone | 86.00 | ng/dl | 6-86 |
| Serum Progesterone | 0.77 | | |
Doctor's answer:
Hello, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a short form of the condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome, which is a syndrome caused by irregular menstruation regulation. This condition is not only one of the main factors leading to female infertility but also presents symptoms such as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, and obesity, as well as bilateral ovarian cystic enlargement. Its characteristics include: persistent anovulation, immature multiple follicles, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular infertility hospital based on your personal condition. Wishing you health.
