Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can polycystic ovary syndrome be cured?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent relationships and 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 ideal. Currently, advanced microscopic surgery techniques that do not require surgery are widely adopted in China to treat PCOS. It is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and treatment.
