Patient's question:
Luteal phase defect is also a disorder of endocrine dysfunction, right? How is it different from polycystic ovary syndrome? Can luteal phase defect have mature and healthy eggs? If they can develop, can they ovulate normally?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hypothyroidism is also a type of endocrine disorder. When hypothyroidism occurs, it generally manifests as poor follicular development, which is somewhat related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In general, if it is confirmed to be PCOS, pregnancy should only be attempted under the guidance of a doctor. The regulation period for PCOS is usually quite long, but it is essential to adhere to the treatment and not to interrupt it, which is a very important point.Additionally, PCOS requires first regulating a regular menstrual cycle before undergoing subsequent treatments such as reducing the polycystic condition. Currently, there is no definitive cure for PCOS in clinical practice. Many women first regulate their condition to the level required for pregnancy. In clinical observations, we have found that many women experience a disappearance of PCOS symptoms after giving birth. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek systematic treatment at a reputable hospital under the guidance of a doctor, regulate your condition to the level required for pregnancy, and then conceive.
Wishing you good luck with your pregnancy.
