Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, with one daughter. I have polycystic ovary syndrome.1. Lately, my menstrual periods have been a bit longer, lasting over ten days, with little flow. During a gynecological examination, blood was found to be flowing from the uterus. In the past, I had a gynecological examination and was told there was some inflammation, but the doctor said there was no major issue.
2. I often feel sleepy during the day and sometimes have trouble sleeping at night.
Doctor's answer:
The situation you described requires oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, spironolactone, fludrocortisone, ovulation induction drugs, insulin sensitizers, and surgical treatment. The diet should be low in carbohydrates and low in fat. Adjusting diet and exercise to reduce weight is a basic method to improve high hormone levels. The occurrence of ovarian cysts not only affects the patient's body but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
