Suspected Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Which Tests Should Be Done?

Patient's question:

Previously, my menstrual cycle was longer, with reduced flow during July and August. After stopping menstruation in mid-September, it hasn't returned. I have not had a period for nearly two months. I visited the hospital for a check-up, underwent a color Doppler ultrasound and hormone tests. The doctor prescribed Dafutong, and so far, I have not had my period.

Doctor's answer:

The main clinical manifestation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the absence of dominant ovulation. If this condition is not properly managed, even the administration of ovulation-inducing drugs will not lead to the development of normal dominant follicles. The primary goal of PCOS treatment is to establish a normal ovulatory menstrual cycle and restore fertility. Once a normal menstrual cycle is established, conception becomes possible. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
