Patient's question:
Medical History: The patient is 27 years old, married for four years, and has been trying to conceive for three years without using any form of contraception. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and blocked fallopian tubes. She has been experiencing amenorrhea for three and a half years and does not have her period without medication.Treatment History and Effectiveness: She has taken traditional Chinese medicine and Western medications such as Dian 35 and Marvelon to regulate her endocrine system, but without significant results.
Desired Help: She wants to use oral rose essential oil to regulate her endocrine system. She has taken it for a week and noticed significant effects, but experienced a feeling of fullness in her lower abdomen. Due to her PCOS, she has multiple small follicles and fears that it may stimulate the development of multiple follicles, so she stopped taking it. However, since all other methods have been tried, she wants to reconsider using this approach. Is it feasible? She has consulted doctors, but none of them know what the outcome might be, so she is seeking advice.
Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been identified as a clinical syndrome characterized by polycystic ovaries accompanied by anovulation and/or hirsutism, with an expanding range of histological manifestations as clinical research progresses. It has been discovered that many atypical cases exist, such as those without hirsutism or even with ovulatory function. With the advancement of diagnostic technology, it has been recognized that polycystic ovaries are not a unique disease but rather a clinically heterogeneous syndrome with multiple etiologies. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a formal infertility clinic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and develop a targeted, appropriate treatment plan. This will enable better and faster treatment of PCOS. Avoid treatment to prevent missing the optimal treatment window.
