Patient's question:
In May of this year, I was found to have slightly higher androgen levels than normal. I have a history of irregular menstruation, with a cycle of 40 days, moderate flow, and a duration of 4-5 days. I have had vaginal inflammation for 1 year, have been married for 1 year, and have not been pregnant. The doctor considered it to be "polycystic ovary syndrome" and recommended taking "Diane" orally for three months.Now, after taking "Diane" for three months (June, July, and August), my period did not come in November, and my urine HCT was negative. Could you please ask the doctor what tests I should undergo? And is it recommended that I try to get pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
This Dian35 is a hormone medication that can affect pregnancy. It is recommended that you wait at least six months before planning to have a child. Additionally, it is essential to undergo prenatal check-ups at the hospital. The medication you mentioned is only for reducing androgen levels in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). If you plan to become pregnant, you may also need treatments such as ovulation induction. It is best not to take any medication randomly, as it is a sex hormone drug. If taken, it may lead to symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding.Given your current situation, it is advisable to visit a reputable and professional infertility and subfertility specialty hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, medication should be taken. Avoid self-medication or seeking treatment blindly, as incorrect medication not only delays the condition but may also cause adverse reactions to your body.
