Patient's question:
Not pregnant, carefully checked that the testosterone level on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle is high, it is 19.4. The doctor said it is high by 9. Follicle-stimulating hormone is low, it is 7.04, and it is said to be low. Past treatment and effectiveness: Currently taking metformin, two tablets daily, one after breakfast and one after dinner. ?Is this polycystic ovary syndrome? I see that people who are overweight have such conditions, but I am very thin, how can I also have this condition? Besides, I really want a child now. How can the treatment be more effective? ??Is the treatment for thin people less effective than for overweight people?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological condition characterized by the absence of menopause. Therefore, it can lead to infertility. Ultrasound is relatively accurate for diagnosing polycystic ovaries. PCOS is caused by endocrine dysfunction in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting mutual exclusion and regulation, resulting in the ovaries failing to undergo menopause over a long period. Through certain treatments, the luteinizing hormone (LH) to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio can be normalized, allowing follicles to develop and mature, leading to menopause. It is recommended that you visit a regular specialized hospital for timely medical consultation to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment, avoiding the loss of the best opportunity for treatment.
