Patient's question:
Polycystic ovary syndrome, want to get pregnant, what to do? Polycystic ovary syndrome, want to get pregnant, what to do?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition involving immune system dysfunction and endocrine disorders, primarily characterized by ovulation disorders and infertility. First, menstrual irregularities may occur, even leading to amenorrhea. Many patients exhibit hyperandrogenism, elevated prolactin levels, ovarian enlargement, and the presence of multiple small follicles. Even when ovulation is induced, ovulation disorders or luteinized cysts may still occur. The ovarian walls may be thickened, and immune substances may surround the ovaries, affecting follicular maturation or release. Many patients seek medical attention for infertility, presenting with symptoms such as hirsutism, amenorrhea, obesity, and acne on the face. The exact causes remain unclear.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment is based on the theory of adjusting endocrine levels, combined with soothing the liver, regulating Qi, promoting blood circulation and resolving stagnation, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and eliminating small blood clots around the ovaries to reduce immune suppression. Clinical outcomes are excellent, with the entire treatment process typically lasting around 3 months. In the fourth month, endocrine levels are rechecked, and follicular development is monitored starting from the 12th day of the menstrual cycle. If the follicle matures, pregnancy can be planned at the appropriate time.
