Patient's question:
The other day, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. They said my inflammation was quite severe, with cervical canal adhesion and excessive vaginal discharge. Cleaning the vaginal discharge cost 1,700 yuan (they claimed traditional Chinese medicine could completely cure it, while Western medicine tends to be recurrent). Then, I had a surgery to address the cervical canal adhesion, which cost over 7,800 yuan, including applying a membrane to the cervical canal and preserving the uterus. Besides treating the inflammation (they said it could directly cure my inflammation) and resolving pelvic effusion (a large syringe of fluid was drained). The doctor said that after the inflammation is cured, the chances of getting pregnant would be higher. If I couldn’t get pregnant within a year, I should come back for treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome. They said the surgery for polycystic ovary syndrome could cost tens of thousands of yuan. Do I really need to spend so much?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome, it is important to maintain balance, including medication, duration of medication, etc. If the balance is not well-controlled, it may damage ovarian function and even lead to systemic complications. Therefore, do not self-medicate blindly. Minimally invasive surgery is currently a relatively effective treatment for infertility caused by polycystic ovary syndrome. The diet should be light and avoid spicy foods. It is necessary to avoid sweet foods. Daily diet should be controlled, and calorie restriction is required; adequate exercise is needed, and lifestyle should be adjusted.
