Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have developed polycystic ovary syndrome, hirsutism, and obesity. I would like to take medication for a period of time first. Could you please tell me if it is better to use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for polycystic ovary syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main goal of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment is to establish a normal ovulatory menstrual cycle, restore fertility. Once a normal menstrual cycle is established, pregnancy can occur, and the ovaries no longer produce excessive androgens. The following measures can be taken:1. General exercise and dietary reduction to lower body weight, alleviating anovulation.
2. Conservative treatment, suitable for women with mild symptoms, typically lasting 3 to 6 months.
3. Minimally invasive surgical treatment. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment should be considered. Minimally invasive surgery can address ovulation disorders.
