Patient's question:
Is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) a common cause of weight gain in humans? Is it a side effect of medication? What can be done about it?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent regulation between these components, leading to prolonged anovulation in the ovaries. The typical clinical manifestations of PCOS include menstrual disorders due to anovulation, such as amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, oligomenorrhea, or anovulatory cycles. It is often accompanied by hirsutism, obesity, infertility, bilateral ovarian enlargement or unilateral ovarian growth, as well as changes in hormone levels.There are two main treatment methods for PCOS: medication and surgery. Medication treatment is generally not very effective. Our hospital's experienced experts employ advanced microscopic surgery techniques to treat PCOS without surgery. This technique is non-invasive, offers rapid recovery, and has a high success rate.
We recommend that you come to our hospital for a thorough examination to identify the specific causes of infertility and receive targeted treatment. Do not miss the best age for pregnancy.
