Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Can polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) be cured? Does Dian 35 have side effects?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) includes: 1. General treatment: It is important to actively engage in exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, and lower body weight. This can help decrease androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation. 2. Medication treatment: Medications can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. Generally, medication is taken for about 3-6 months. Once hormone level tests return to normal, the medication can be stopped. If the above two methods are not effective, laparoscopic surgery may need to be considered. Under laparoscopy, the surgeon punctures the follicles to reduce androgen levels, thereby achieving the treatment goal. Patients usually regain ovulation after symptoms are controlled, allowing for pregnancy. However, some patients may experience recurrence, which requires regular check-ups at the hospital. The longer PCOS persists, the harder it becomes to treat. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
